Heinz Firecracker Sauce

Heinz Firecracker Sauce is a spicy condiment characterized by its smokey tomato and chipotle chili flavor profile. The Heinz brand, famous for its '57 Varieties', was founded in 1869 by Henry J. Heinz in Sharpsburg, Pennsylvania, United States. Initially gaining fame for its horseradish and later its iconic tomato ketchup, the brand has expanded into a massive global portfolio of sauces and convenience foods.

While the brand originated in the United States, production of specific items like the Firecracker Sauce typically occurs across various regional facilities to serve local markets. For the European and UK markets, production often takes place in facilities in the United Kingdom or the Netherlands. In 2015, the H.J. Heinz Company merged with Kraft Foods to form the Kraft Heinz Company. As of 2026, the brand remains under the ultimate ownership of the Kraft Heinz Company, which is co-headquartered in the United States and continues to be one of the largest food and beverage organizations globally.
