H.J.Heinz Company
At Heinz, we believe creating memorable family experiences is an important part of childhood. Whether growing it, cooking it, or eating it, food often plays a part in our memorable family moments. For more than a century, from backyard barbeques to baseball games to family mealtimes, American families have been creating memories while enjoying Heinz® Ketchup.
Heinz Ketchup is made with vine-ripened tomatoes, “Grown, Not Made®” from Heinz® Seed by a trusted group of farmers. The care and expertise we put into growing the perfect tomatoes for Heinz Ketchup is just one reason why Heinz is America’s Favorite Ketchup® and has been at the center of family memories for 130 years.
