They are in the process of getting it back on the shelves of Loblaws stores, No Frills and such. They said it should be available there in the next few weeks. Due to the social media blow up that has recently occurred with the brand, they are having a hard time keeping any on the shelves. It sells out almost instantly of being stocked right now.

The campaign to support French's Ketchup is gaining steam, this time it's the Federation of Northern Ontario Municipalities (FONOM) encouraging its membership to use their influence within their communities to support and promote Ontario farmers by purchasing the product.
"In 2015, French’s began to focus on using locally sourced ingredients with no preservatives in their ketchup line. They have promised to use only tomatoes grown in Ontario and have demonstrated a history of working with Canadian farmers through the use of mustard seeds from Saskatchewan in their famous mustard line," says a news release from FONOM.
"The shift to promoting and using local ingredients and has resulted in overwhelming support through the public with the use of social media to push for people to purchase French’s ketchup. The volume of sales has skyrocketed which has increased the number of contracts for local tomato growers."
“Buying local supports both Ontario farmers and our communities," says Mayor Alan Spacek of Kapuskasing and President of FONOM. "We are encouraging our members to support and promote the French’s brand when possible,
"With local food week around the corner from June 1st to June 7th, it is a great opportunity to promote Ontario’s farmers."
