Heinz Tomato Ketchup is one of the world's most iconic food brands, originally founded in 1869 by Henry J. Heinz in Sharpsburg, Pennsylvania, USA. While the product was initially launched with horseradish, the famous tomato ketchup debuted in 1876 and became the company's flagship product. Today, Heinz Ketchup is a global staple, noted for its thick consistency and distinct flavor profile.
Manufacturing of Heinz Ketchup occurs in multiple countries to satisfy local demand across the globe. Major production sites are located in the United States (notably Ohio and Iowa), Canada, and several European countries including the Netherlands (Elst) and the United Kingdom (Wigan). The variety shown in the image, featuring 50% less sugar and salt, is a contemporary health-conscious adaptation of the original recipe.
Since 2015, the brand has been owned by The Kraft Heinz Company, which was formed through the merger of Kraft Foods and H.J. Heinz Holding Corporation. The merger was backed by Berkshire Hathaway and 3G Capital. The company remains headquartered in the United States, dual-headquartered in Pittsburgh and Chicago.
