Heinz has doubled the price of some products in just a year as the cost of living crisis continues to hit shoppers.
The nation's favourite tomato ketchup - the 910g bottle - has risen 60% from £2.49 to £3.99, according to The Grocer.
This is considerably higher than November last year, where prices of Heinz tomato ketchup were £3.50 from Asda and Sainsburys.
Tesco back then offered a price of £3.49, while Morrisons charged £3.85 for the product.
For little ones, the Peppa Pig snap pots, which is pasta shapes in tomato sauce, have shot up 100% from £1 to £2.

And a three pack of Heinz 200g Beanz tins has risen from £1 to £1.79. This is a 79% price increase.
But it isn't only Heinz products that have seen a dramatic price rise, either.
Meanwhile, the Heinz Splash! Apple and Blackcurrant juice, for a 500ml bottle, has risen from £1 to £2.
Heinz Veg Hoops have also risen by 80%, going form 50p to 80p for a 205g tin.
The brand's Baked Beanz Curry has also shot up by 79%. The price has gone from £1 to £1.79 now.
Overall, Heinz has pushed up prices on 500 items across all the major supermarkets.

The price of the most popular branded food products has soared by as much as 107% in the last two years, according to the latest research from Which?.
And prices, on average, have increased across the most basic Heinz products, including their beloved tomato ketchup and beans tins.
But Heinz isn't the only brand that have hiked up their prices in many stores.
With the cost of living crisis at the forefront of many families minds, the last they want is their favourite products increasing in price.
Bisto and Premier Foods have also raised prices — intensifying the row between retailers and producers over who is profiteering from grocery inflation.

A Kraft Heinz spokesperson told The Mirror: “Like the rest of the food industry, we continue to face significantly increased production costs – whether it’s ingredients, energy, or packaging – and rising inflation. Our energy prices alone have increased by 609% since 2019.
“We’re absorbing costs wherever we can, however we've reluctantly had to increase our prices to retailers – a measure that continues to be a last resort.
“We understand the pressures consumers are currently facing. To help offset these, we’re working collaboratively with retailers to offer great value through regular promotions and promotional cycles across a range of our products.
“We’ve adapted our offer to consumers with different pack sizes, value ranges and lower price points. We are also continuing to look for efficiencies in our operations.
“We remain committed to giving our consumers great tasting and nutritious products without compromising on the quality they know and trust, and continuing to invest back into the more than 3,000 people we employ across the UK.”
