Heinz is adding a dash of Asian-style spice to its ketchup. 
 
 The company said it is releasing a new product this month: Heinz Tomato Ketchup Blended with Sriracha Flavor. 
 
 H.J. Heinz Company said that its new sriracha product "comes in the familiar upside-down 14-ounce plastic squeeze bottle featuring a green and red label" and will be available in WalMart (WMT), Target (TGT), and other retailers. The suggested retail price is $2.69. 
 
 "The new offering adds a new kick to your favorite foods and recipes, pairing well with cheeseburgers, French fries and hot dogs, and is the perfect flavor boost for chicken and eggs," said Heinz brand manager Joseph Giallenella, offering some culinary advice. 
 
 Sriracha is a hot chili sauce that traces its origins back to Thailand. In America, the leading sriracha brand is from Huy Fong Foods, a manufacturer in Los Angeles that brands its spicy products as "untamed." A judge last year ordered Huy Fong to put a cap on the smell emanating from its factory after local residents complained. 
 
 Heinz, based in Pittsburgh, said it will manufacture the ketchup-sriracha blend in Fremont, Ohio. 
 
 Heinz is known for its "57 varieties" slogan, but this new flavor isn't No. 58. The company said it produces over 5,700 products, including other unorthodox varieties like tomato ketchup mixed with jalapeños and another blended with balsamic vinegar. It even makes non-ketchup products like baby cereal. 
 
 Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway (BRKA)and the private equity firm 3G Capital bought Heinz for $28 billion in 2013. 

 The sriracha craze just keeps on coming. It all started with the explosion in popularity of Huy Fong Foods' original version of the chili hot sauce, and pretty soon we had sriracha-inspired Taco Bell and Pizza Hut menus, sriracha-drizzled sushi, and even sriracha beer. Heinz is finally getting the spice kick, and has released the Heinz tomato ketchup blended with sriracha flavor. We think it’s about time that ketchup spiced things up for the sake of a better burger. 
 
 Heinz describes the new product as “an exciting twist on a classic that maintains the recognizable taste and consistency of ketchup, with an added kick from spicy chili pepper and garlic flavors.” 
 
 “Building off of our successful line of flavored ketchups, fans told us that they would love another bold take on their favorite condiment,” Joseph Giallanella, brand manager of Heinz tomato ketchup said in a statement. “The new offering adds a new kick to your favorite foods and recipes, pairing well with cheeseburgers, French fries and hot dogs, and is the perfect flavor boost for chicken and eggs.” 
 
 Heinz Sriracha Ketchup is in stores now.
– Heinz ketchup mixed with sriracha sauce is now a real product, not just the preserve of people experimenting at home. The company says it plans to release the Asian-style hot sauce mix this month, reports CNN. In a press release, Heinz says fans clamored for the new flavor, which is a "perfect flavor boost for chicken and eggs." The new ketchup comes amid a sriracha craze that has seen the chili sauce added to Pizza Hut and Taco Bell menus, sushi, and even beer, reports the Daily Meal. Heinz plans to make the stuff in Ohio. In California, the maker of the best-known variety of sriracha has ended its dispute with the city that called its factory a "public nuisance."
