Kraft Tomato Ketchup is a globally recognized condiment produced by the Kraft Heinz Company. The brand 'Kraft' originated in the United States, founded by James L. Kraft in 1903, initially focusing on cheese before expanding into a diverse range of food products including sauces and dressings. In 2015, the Kraft Foods Group merged with the H.J. Heinz Company to form the Kraft Heinz Company, bringing the Kraft ketchup line under the same corporate umbrella as the iconic Heinz brand.

Manufacturing of Kraft and Heinz ketchup products occurs in multiple countries to supply regional markets. In the United States, production is concentrated in major facilities such as those in Fremont, Ohio, and Muscatine, Iowa. For the European market, production typically takes place in the Netherlands (Elst) and Spain, while other regional hubs include Canada, the United Kingdom, and Brazil.

As of 2026, the Kraft Heinz Company remains the ultimate owner of the brand. Although a corporate split was proposed in 2025 to separate the 'Taste Elevation' (condiments) and 'Grocery' divisions, the company officially halted these plans in early 2026 to focus on a unified turnaround strategy and reinvestment in its core iconic brands.
