When a German man scanned the QR code on a bottle of ketchup, he expected to land on a page about designing his own label. Instead, he was taken to a hardcore porn website.

Daniel Korell scanned the checked label to read about the promotion, but was directed to German porn site Fundorado.

The mix-up was down to the fact that Heinz ran the contest between 2012 and 2014, and the link expired this year, TheLocal.De reported.

Fundorado then registered the web address for itself, and the site once owned by Heinz was replaced with porn.

Korell wrote on his Facebook page: "Your ketchup really isn't for under-age people."

"Even if the bottle was a leftover, it's still in lots of households.
