Banana ketchup is increasingly stocked by larger UK supermarkets, though a Filipino grocer offers the widest choice of brands.
Which aisle is banana ketchup in?
Where stocked, banana ketchup is in the world food aisle, in the Filipino or Southeast Asian section, near other condiments.
Where to look, supermarket by supermarket
- World food aisle, Filipino section. Bottled near soy sauce and vinegar.
- Not every branch stocks it, since it is less universal than tomato ketchup.

Is banana ketchup sold in Tesco?
Some larger Tesco stores stock UFC or Jufran brand banana ketchup in the world food aisle, though availability varies by branch.
What to ask a member of staff
Ask for banana ketchup or Jufran/UFC by brand name, both widely recognised in Filipino grocers.
Asian supermarkets
A Filipino grocer is the most reliable source, and usually stocks the leading brands side by side.
Buying it online
It keeps well, so a larger bottle online is a sensible option if you use it often.
Storing it
Keep the bottle in the cupboard before opening, and refrigerate once opened.
