Bull's-Eye Barbecue Sauce was introduced in 1985 by the Ridgway Brothers company, marking a significant entry into the American condiment market with its bold, smoky flavor profile. Designed to contrast with the sweeter, ketchup-based sauces of the era, it quickly gained a dedicated following. The brand's identity is closely tied to its iconic red bull's head logo and its association with authentic American barbecue traditions.

Shortly after its successful debut, the brand was acquired by Kraft Foods, which leveraged its extensive distribution network to make Bull's-Eye a staple in households and restaurants across North America. Following the global merger between Kraft and Heinz, the brand is currently owned by The Kraft Heinz Company. Today, it remains a dominant player in the barbecue sauce category, known for regional styles such as Texas, Memphis, and Kansas City.

Manufacturing is decentralized to serve global markets efficiently. Products for the American market are primarily produced in the United States, while products for the Canadian market are often manufactured locally by Kraft Heinz Canada. The brand has also seen international distribution in regions like the United Kingdom and Australia, often tailoring its production to local subsidiary facilities.
