Fila Manila Filipino American Kitchen collaborated with food lifestyle brand Unkle Harold's to create tomato-free ketchup. The Banana Ketchup tells the story of a condiment that was first produced in the Philippines due to a shortage of tomatoes and a high production of bananas. This modernized condiment is ready to be enjoyed on burgers, fries, nuggets, eggs and anything in between.
The plant-based condiment is free from artificial flavors and colors, and it combines banana with bell pepper, herbs and spices to deliver a flavorful twist on a classic all-American condiment.
In the category for Best New Condiment, Sauce and/or Dip, Fila Manila Filipino American Kitchen won the Natural Products Expo East 2022 NEXTY Award for its Banana Ketchup.
