Design Change for Kagome Tomato Ketchup Outer Packaging

KAGOME CO., LTD. will temporarily change the outer packaging of "Kagome Tomato Ketchup" to a transparent design with reduced printing.

Amid ongoing tensions in the Middle East, changes in the supply and demand for ink and paint have affected the white ink used on the outer packaging of “Kagome Tomato Ketchup”. The white ink used as a printing base for this product’s packaging is limited in terms of printability, and finding a suitable alternative is difficult; consequently, they have decided to make this design change.

For products sold in stores in Japan, the switch will be implemented sequentially starting around late May 2026.
