    Usage notes

    The term is now used almost exclusively to refer to tomato ketchup. However, at one time it was a more general term for sauce, and it is still occasionally used in this way, as with grape ketchup and mushroom ketchup. The spelling ketchup' became significantly preferred in the United States due to the popularity of (Heinz Tomato Ketchup), which used this spelling since shortly after its introduction in 1876 (after earlier using catsup) to distinguish itself from competitors. Other major brands, such as Hunt, subsequently followed, with Del Monte only switching to '''ketchup in 1988.“ Is There a Difference Between Ketchup and Catsup?”, ''Slate, Aisha Harris, April 22, 2013
