You can still make it, you just need to label it as low consistency. Section C) says:

...when the quality of the catsup falls below the standard, the label may bear the alternative statement, “Below Standard in Quality—Low Consistency.”

Cfrs are one of the few things left trying to protect you from enshittification of food so I wouldn't shit on them too hard. Highly imperfect, but before they existed shit was REAL bad

That part puts it in perspective for me. I would in fact think of runny ketchup as low quality.

Yeah op nobody likes the ketchup diarrhea that first comes out the bottle and now you're trying to sell an entire bottle of it

Ketchup pre cum

Cat soup? Pass

Oh yea. I’m definitely trusting a spring gate on a metal sled and a stop watch.

*Bostwick consistometer....

I'm gonna make a csv parser that accepts LF (\n) line-endings instead of strict CRLF (\r\n)

RFC 4180 section 2

Just add water

Is it soup for cats? Or soup made of cats?

There’s a CFR that describes a standard in metric?

That's the cfr for catsup. What about ketchup?

unsurprisingly, many do

Tomato water

Yep, came here to say this too. Maybe it was an intentional error to drive engagement in the food science demographic :-D

i think that's called catsup

catsup is low quality ketchup, per condiment for federal regulations

It's soup that makes you blind for one day. One day blinding soup.

We're making enshitifing great again!

Catsoup

eye twitches uncontrollably

"Oh yeah you got me...."

Oh, right. The one day blinding soup. The soup for blinding you for one day, the soup chosen especially to blind you for one day, one day blinding soup. That soup?

That very soup indeed

I recall reading about a grocery store chain that got it's start by just advertising that they were selling "real food." Things were awful before food regulations.

That's like the opposite of a burger place I went to that advertised themselves as "cheaper than food".

Gotta lick the thixotropy

"the release sprung and barbecue sauce flowing"

the sauce must flow!
