Heinz USA

Heinz products are a staple of the US pantry — even though the famous tomato ketchup is loaded with corn syrup — kids love it all the same. Heinz «57» sauce, Salad cream (UK), Mayo and beans are all good too.

Heinz ketchup and pickles are terrific. It isn’t worth trying to save a nickel with watery condiments.

The only things name-​brand where I refuse to settle for the generic is toilet paper and ketchup. Heinz Ketchup is a staple that should be on every American kitchen table. One time my husband came home with store brand catsup and I made him take it back and exchange it for Heinz.
I was super excited to get to walk past the Heinz factory and snap some photos and see the legendary ‘57’ on the smoke stacks. Don’t ever change, Heinz. You are the only consistent thing in my life.

Believe it or not, I was planning on doing a review of this Pittsburgh landmark before the big news that Warren Buffett’s billions was buying Heinz.
Dear Warren Buffett, don’t mess with my ketchup!
FACT: Heinz Ketchup is used in 93% of restaurants, nation wide!
The HJ Heinz company was formed in 1869 when Henry John Heinz sold his mother’s canned horseradish door to door.
Today Heinz’s headquarters are still here in Pittsburgh, although no products are made in Pittsburgh anymore. The plant at the base of Troy Hill near the Allegheny river was sold to Treehouse Foods where they make private label soups. I’ll never forget going to the factory as a Cub Scout and how the vinegar smelled as we toured the factory. We each got a full size bottle of Ketchup to take home with us, and of course a Pickle Pin, one of the most iconic symbols associated with Heinz.
Again, Mr Buffett, don’t mess with the red stuff or a whole gaggle of Terrible Towel waving Yinzers will open a can of whoop ass on ya!
