Fila Manila Banana Ketchup – Filipino-style Mild Condiment, Pack of 3, Vegan & No Added Sugar

Inspired by a century-old Filipino invention born during a tomato shortage, this banana-based ketchup blends ripe bananas with vinegar, spices, and a touch of tang for a familiar yet tropical flavor. Produced in the USA, it arrives as a convenient three-pack designed for everyday use — from burgers and fries to breakfast and marinades. The formula is vegan and free from MSG, added sugar, gluten, and dairy, making it an adaptable pantry staple for many diets.

How does banana ketchup compare to regular tomato ketchup?

Fila Manila's banana ketchup delivers the sweet-and-tangy profile you expect from ketchup but uses ripe bananas as the primary sweetener. Because it relies on banana sweetness, the product contains about half the sugar, calories, and carbs of typical tomato ketchup while preserving bold flavor.

• Primary sweetener: ripe bananas instead of added sugar.
• Lower sugar and fewer calories than many tomato ketchups.
• Mild flavor profile that complements rather than overpowers foods.

What makes this ketchup suitable for restricted diets?

Fila Manila crafted this banana ketchup to fit a wide range of dietary needs. It is vegan, contains no MSG, has no added sugar, and is free from gluten and dairy — suitable for people avoiding those ingredients.

• Vegan-friendly formulation, no animal-derived ingredients.
• No MSG and no sugar added to the recipe.
• Gluten-free and dairy-free for wider dietary compatibility.

How should I use banana ketchup in everyday cooking?

Use it anywhere you would use regular ketchup for a tropical twist: as a dipping sauce, burger topping, or mixed into sauces and marinades. Its mild sweetness pairs especially well with fried foods, grilled meats, and scrambled eggs.

• As a squeeze-on condiment for burgers, hot dogs, and fries.
• Stirred into marinades, glazes, and BBQ sauces for a fruity lift.
• Used on breakfast plates—eggs, sausages, and breakfast sandwiches.

Where does this recipe come from and who makes it?

Banana ketchup traces back to the Philippines during World War I, created to use abundant bananas when tomatoes were scarce. Fila Manila prepares this recipe in the USA, honoring the Filipino heritage while offering a shelf-stable, packaged product in a convenient three-bottle set.

• Traditional Filipino inspiration dating to the early 20th century.
• Manufactured in the USA under the Fila Manila brand.
• Packaged as a 3-count for pantry convenience or sharing.
