Heinz Tomato Passata (Passiert)

Heinz Tomato Passata is a smooth, sieved tomato base commonly used in Italian-inspired cooking. The Heinz brand, while iconic for its American heritage and famous ketchup, has expanded globally to include a wide variety of tomato-based pantry staples.

While the Heinz brand originated in the United States in 1869, the specific production of its passata often occurs in European facilities, particularly in regions like Italy or the Netherlands, to ensure high-quality tomato sourcing for the European market. Following a high-profile merger in 2015, the brand is now part of the Kraft Heinz Company, which remains one of the largest food and beverage organizations in the world.
