This big bottle of spicy hot ketchup from Spain says it only lasts 1 month in the fridge after opening. Is the label lying?
- If yes, then an asshole designed the label.
- If no, then the ketchup is a crappy design because a family must be large and has to eat burgers, fries, and meatloaf every day to get through 560g.
Ketchup on the US market would be loaded with sugar and preservatives. But Europe and maybe the rest of the world is more inclined to have a higher proportion of pronounceable ingredients and fewer of them.
There is sriracha ketchup in the US which is shelf stable even after opening. Hot spicy foods are often that way, so apparently there is enough sriracha in that ketchup to keep it stable without refrigeration. Yet the cayanne pepper spiked ketchup from Spain is said to struggle to hold up even when refrigerated.

A Spanish company is hyper-paranoid about unlikely lawsuits? I think not. Maybe if they were selling it in the US. I’ll take your vote as a label problem, and thus asshole design. Though I suppose the label could also be due to incompetent lawyers (crappy design).
Think again. MADE in Spain, not sold in Spain.
“Unlikely lawsuits,” famous last words.
Not in Europe. You’ve apparently not been outside of the US. Lawsuits aren’t a thing here. Class actions don’t even exist in the EU. Each person injured must sue individually, and there is no tort option to cover their court costs. Everyone loses. Even if you win a judgement, it’s merely a ceremonial win.
I’m French you idiot. You know fuck all about laws in France.
then you should know better.
You’re factually wrong (source: my friends who are lawyers). Stop the spam, it’s cringe now. Also there is a form of class action in France.
LOL. Lawyers who are happy to defend large corps.
You have a false reality from watching Hollywood movies. Have your lawyer friends read CJEU case C-300/21
