Heinz Baked Beans

Heinz Baked Beans are a global culinary icon, recognized for their signature rich tomato sauce and fiber-rich haricot beans. While the H.J. Heinz Company was founded in the United States, the brand's tinned beans became a cultural staple in the United Kingdom after being introduced as a luxury import at Fortnum & Mason in 1901. Today, the majority of the world's Heinz Baked Beans are produced at the Kitt Green factory in Wigan, England, which is one of the largest food processing plants in Europe.

The brand has undergone significant corporate evolution over the last century. Originally the brainchild of Henry J. Heinz, the company merged with the Kraft Foods Group in 2015 to form The Kraft Heinz Company. This monumental merger created one of the largest food and beverage organizations in the world, combining two deep portfolios of household brands. The company remains headquartered in the United States, managing its vast international operations from Pittsburgh and Chicago.
