Heinz French Onion Soup

Heinz French Onion Soup is a staple product from the world-renowned Heinz brand, which dates back to its founding by Henry J. Heinz in 1869 in Sharpsburg, Pennsylvania, USA. While the brand has deep American roots, it has become an integral part of the British food landscape. Many of the canned soup varieties sold in the UK, including this French Onion flavor, are manufactured locally at the Kitt Green factory in Wigan, which is the largest food processing plant in Europe.

Today, the brand is owned by the Kraft Heinz Company, a global food and beverage giant formed by the 2015 merger of Kraft Foods and H.J. Heinz Holding Corporation. The company is headquartered in both Chicago, Illinois and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Despite its American ownership, Heinz maintains a massive presence in the United Kingdom through H.J. Heinz Foods UK Ltd, ensuring that products are tailored to the specific tastes and manufacturing standards of the British market.
