Heinz Ketchup Kosher for Passover

Question

Rabbi, In your Pessach list, Heinz Ketchup is listed as kosher for Passover only for Sephardim. Is this because of the vinegar, which I assume is made from rice? Thank you very much.

On many products we have not had the time to determine if the Kitniyot are less than 50%, so we write for Sephardim only. If you can confirm that it's OK for Ashkenazim, go for it. AA
