Hunt's Tomato Ketchup

Hunt's is one of the most recognizable names in the American food industry, particularly famous for its tomato-based products. The brand's history dates back to 1888 when Joseph Hunt founded the Hunt Brothers Fruit Packing Company in Santa Rosa, California. Over more than a century, it evolved from a local canning operation into a global household name known for its sauces, ketchups, and canned tomatoes.

Today, Hunt's is a signature brand in the portfolio of Conagra Brands. The product is primarily manufactured in the United States, utilizing vine-ripened tomatoes sourced from California regions. This close proximity to the source allows the brand to maintain its signature 'thick and rich' profile that has made it a staple in both residential kitchens and the professional foodservice industry.

Ownership of the brand has changed hands through several major corporate mergers involving companies like Norton Simon and Beatrice Foods, finally landing with Conagra. As of the current outlook for 2026, Conagra continue to manage the brand's global distribution and product innovation from their headquarters in Chicago, Illinois.
