What?
That is a South African product. Surely you don't think it sounds Finnish.

Wait, wait...Can I ask something? I need some definition.
What makes it 'chutney'?
How is it different from say, 'relish', or 'salsa'?
It is a condiment, right? Does 'ketsup' qualify as a 'chutney'?
I suspect this is a British term which did not survive the separation, or never made it here in North America after being introduced, post-separation, in Britain.
It appears on market shelves in the US only occasionally. I suspect it is purchased as a novelty and then never used because Americans don't know what it really is and how it is to be used. I don't. I don't think I know many Americans do know. The Finch sisters might, as they had full-on British parents...aliens, y'know?

Ha!
I watched the video on how to make the three traditional 'chutneys' that appear with Indian food servings; the red, green, and white dips.
I say it is the same as salsa.

I love chutneys. I only learned about them because of Frank. They hardly seem to exist in Germany, except for some Indian shops.

The word "chutney" comes from a word in Hindi meaning "licking". Fun fact!
