Yep - in a bottle - same as a "ketchup" bottle. You can see the products
here -

Heinz say the ketchup is a bit spicier than the sauce, and has more
tomato solids. The Big Red sauce is the sort of tomato sauce
traditionally used here. I don't remember the ketchup being available
when I was growing up - I think it's a relatively recent addition to the
shelf. I've never bought the ketchup - if I was making something from an
American recipe that called for ketchup I'd just use tomato sauce - and
in fact I don't buy Heinz Tomato Sauce either (sorry Stan!).


It may well depend on what's on special, but I'm most likely to either
buy Fountain or Rosella brand tomato sauces.
