Excellent price - and I am down to the last 2 bottles in my stockpile.
I was only thinking I needed to stock up when I see the next decent offer.... so many thanks for the heads up.

Hellmans don't do ketchup, but their sister brand Colmans do. It's really sugary and far too sweet

Thanks OP, got it in the Cardiff store, was not price marked so loads left there, same best before as above

As said before best before date is only legal requirement, I bought a stash here to Spain and it lasted for 4 years past best before, and having to throw away last 2 1.5 Kg bottles was no loss at the price I paid in relation to the prices I would have had to pay in English food shops here.

Just a note of caution.....
I have just been into my local Farm foods, with my shopping list of bargains to stock up on - inc the Tom Ketchup.
The bottle looks - an unusual shape, and the label looks unusual also ...inc some arabic script (I think)
Not totally unknown of course, but the only thing I could compare to the 'normal' looking Heinz ketchup bottle next to it on the shelf, was the calories etc as it does not list the content in the same was as the other Heinz bottle !!
But, the calories etc per 100ml/g or whatever is different.
I will see if I can take a photo of both labels and add later.....
But I am wondering if these are 100% genuine Heinz OR have these been made for a 'foreign' market, and therefore the recipe adjusted to 'foreign' tastes?????
I have always been a 100% loyal Heinz ketchup buyer.... but have to admit I have begun to wonder recently if they are adding more sweetener (sugar or something else) ?

Normal Heinz Ketchup Ingredients = Tomatoes, spirit Vinegar, Sugar, Salt, Spice and Herb extract (Celery) Nutrition = per 100g.
Calories - 102 kcal
Carbohydrates -23.2 g
Also it states
NO - Artificial Colours, Flavours, Artifical Preservatives, Thickeners.
Farm Foods Heinz 1.25kg bottle Ingredients = Tomato Concentrate from Red Ripe Tomatoes, Vinegar, High Fructose Corn Syrup, Corn Syrup, Salt, Spice, Onion Powder, Natural Flavouring (spice and oils). Contains Celery. Nutrition = per 100g.
Calories - 120 kcal
Carbohydrates - 28.5 g
No mention made of no Artificial additives, etc....
I only bought one bottle, so I will see what I think after the taste test.
p.s side by side, the Farm foods ketchup is a much darker colour - whether this is due to being made of Tomato 'Concentrate' ?

No mention of additives etc because it contains High Fructose Corn Syrup.
Thanks for the link knack.
Just shows I was right to be cautious and only buy one bottle.
Hope post-Brexit our Gov continues to put public safety and well being ahead of saving money and just following with what Food stuffs the US accept.
High Fructose Corn Syrup sounds like something which should definitely be banned given our concerns about our growing problems with obesity and diabetes..... and the cost to our NHS.
Tastes vary around the world, and everything we can do to NOT encourage high sugar diets the better.
So rather than importing foods which have been produced for a sugar addicted US market, I am wiling to miss out on 'cheap' bargains
Let's see how this sugar tax works.
