Heinz is one of the world’s best known food brands, with a history stretching back to 1869 when Henry J. Heinz founded the company in Pennsylvania, USA. Starting with a small range of horseradish and other preserved foods, Heinz grew through a focus on quality, innovation, and convenient food products. The iconic Heinz Tomato Ketchup was introduced in 1876 and has since become a household favourite around the world. Today, Heinz is recognised for its much loved range of sauces, soups, beans, pasta and ready meals, combining over 150 years of heritage with products enjoyed by generations.
