You certainly want your new product to be made from the best ingredients available. Generally, food recipes are quite difficult to patent. Even if the ketchup name brand was patented, you are buying the product and as a purchaser for value, you have acquired a license to use the product for the purpose that it was made to add flavor. You will need to list the ingredients of the ketchup in your barbeque sauce. If you are successful, the ketchup manufacturer will be selling you a lot of product, and so it's a win-win. You need not list the brand name of the ketchup on your barbeque sauce. And, certainly, you are not infringing any trademark if you make no reference to the brand name of the ketchup. This is but an informal opinion and you would be well-advised to seek the advise of counsel and good luck!
