According to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), there are three grades of ketchup: A (which is the highest grade and it's called "fancy"), B (or "extra standard"), and C ("standard").
Grades are assigned to different types of ketchup after four different factors are assessed: color, consistency, presence of defects and flavor (it's almost as fancy as grading diamonds!).
