Heinz Tomato Ketchup (Vorteilspack)

Product and Label

The pictured product is Heinz Tomato Ketchup, a bottled tomato ketchup labelled for the German market (label text includes "Vorteilspack"). Heinz Tomato Ketchup is a classic tomato condiment sold worldwide and commonly packaged in glass or plastic bottles for retail.

Brand origin and history

Heinz was founded in 1869 by Henry J. Heinz in the United States (Pennsylvania). The company's famous tomato ketchup (originally sold as "catsup") dates to the 1870s and became Heinz’s signature product.

Manufacturing and country of origin

Heinz ketchup is manufactured in multiple countries to serve local and regional markets. Because the bottle in the photo is a German-market package, it was packaged for sale in Germany/Europe, but Heinz production for European markets is carried out at multiple regional plants. Therefore the correct designation is that manufacturing occurs in multiple countries rather than a single origin country.

Ownership and local presence

The Heinz brand and its ketchup product are currently owned by The Kraft Heinz Company, the global food company formed by the 2015 merger of H.J. Heinz and Kraft Foods Group. Kraft Heinz is headquartered in the United States and operates local subsidiaries (e.g., H.J. Heinz GmbH / Kraft Heinz Deutschland) that handle distribution, marketing and regulatory compliance in Germany and other European countries.

Practical note

Label language (German: "Vorteilspack") indicates a package intended for German-speaking markets. If you need the exact factory where this specific bottle was filled, that would require reading the small-print manufacturing code or "Hergestellt in" line on the bottle (not visible in the provided photo) or the barcode lookup tied to that SKU.
