2. Ketchup downslides
Although ketchup is still the burger condiment of choice, interest in it is down, especially among younger consumers, finds Technomic’s Burger Consumer Trend Report. Ketchup no longer leads in menu mentions either—in fact, it’s slid to fifth place in the ranking of classic condiments. Mayonnaise comes in at No. 1, followed by barbecue sauce, mustard and aioli.
