The pictures highlight the process by which
tomato
ketchup
 is produced and packed in order to be catered for customers. It is noticed that there are 15 stages in the diagram, starting with harvesting
tomatoes
 and finishing with using
tomato
ketchup
 as a flavour for some dishes at home.
The first step is
 that
tomatoes
 are picked and put in baskets. After that, they are divided into 2 groups: good and bad ones so that
tomato
ketchup
 can get as high quality as possible. Good
tomatoes
 are continuously delivered to factories, where they have detached some unnecessary parts including removing stalks, skin, and seeds from the inner parts. Having been stored in a container,
tomatoes
 are crushed to become liquid. At
this
 point, sugar, salt and vinegar are added, aiming to flavour.
The next step is
 that the liquid is boiled and
then
 left for 2 hours in order to get the right temperature. After the steps of fabricating
tomatoes
ketchup
, it is poured into bottles, which are
then
 labelled. Before being packed into boxes, the bottles have checked the quality.
Following
this
, these boxes are loaded onto lorries, which take them to supermarkets. The final step is that consumers may buy a bottle of
tomato
ketchup
 and enjoy it with hamburgers and fries.
