The ketchup will join Heinz's other flavored ketchups (Jalapeno, Tabasco and Balsamic Vinegar) on the shelves this February.

Available at Walmart, Target and a few other select retailers, the sriracha ketchup is recommended by the folks at Heinz to pair well with cheeseburgers, French fries, hot dogs, chicken, eggs and everything else.
