Some brands are just brands... and then there's Heinz. The company started with simple products like horseradish and pickles that were bottled in clear glass so customers could see the quality. That transparency alone says a lot about the foundation of this brand from the start. Let's fast forward over 150 years, and Heinz has become the name most people automatically picture when they think of ketchup. Am I right? Now think flavor? Perfectly balanced. Slightly sweet, tangy, rich tomato depth...not too watery, not too thick. It just hits right every time. There's a reason it became famous for its "57 Varieties" slogan and ended up a staple in homes, diners, BBQs, and restaurants everywhere. What I love most is consistency. Whether it's their classic ketchup on a juicy burger, dipped with crispy fries, spread on a hot dog, or even paired with scrambled eggs (don't judge!), it tastes the same every time. Their mustard brings that sharp bite to sausages, pretzels and best of all a marinate to meats. Heinz 57 sauce on steak or meatloaf? Classic comfort. Over the years they've expanded into mayo, BBQ sauces, and creative blends, but the core flavor profile still feels nostalgic. It's one of those brands that reminds you of backyard cookouts and family dinners. Heinz didn't just make condiments, they helped define what ketchup is supposed to taste like. Reliable, flavorful, timeless even. Some things don't need reinventing... they just need a squeeze bottle on the table. read more

Well,well look what popped up. Don't mind if I do. Post a Heinz review that is. I have to start with my first Ketchup memories. Now,it's not often or everyone that has specific childhood ketchup memories. On second thought,everyone has them. But,it's more than I loved ketchup as a kid or I hated ketchup. Growing up in Dallas it was an us and them experience. My grandmother used Del Monte ketchup and she kept it in the refrigerator. My mother Bought Heinz and kept it in the pantry. I liked ketchup but,just on French fries. Everyone had friends that smothered everything in ketchup but not me. I discovered last year I like ketchup more than ever and have been dowsing my burgers with it occasionally. It seems not that long ago,the Heinz glass bottle disappeared for ever. I love glass and hate plastic so it was a sad passing but I get the business necessities of it. So I chug along with my plastic bottle of Heinz,in the fridge and ready for action. It came in handy the other nite when I combined it with horse radish to make shrimp cocktail sauce. It seems Heinz has the ketchup market cornered and that's ok with me. Why? Thick and Flavorful. Remember the ad campaign from decades ago when Carlie Simon sang, Anticipation as an upside down bottle of Ketchup barely moved. Yum read more

Heinz - My current fave - Specialty Food Near Me

Heinz products are a staple of many American households. I have been a fan of the American ketchup and mustard my whole life. Heinz makes other products too like pickles and relishes that I have used for decades. The Heinz beans I write about are not made in the USA. These small white beans with a subtle tomato based flavor are not too sweet and made in the UK. I first had a try of these delicious beans in 1977. I arrived in London ready to explore the city. I went to a pub and had my first pint and bangers and beans. What a delightful meal. I took a suggestion from a Scotchman to visit the pub to try their fish and chips. That day's special was bangers, pork sausages, and Heinz beans. I haven't seen the beans in many years just recently finding them in Publix fur $4.98 a can. I bought them and they taste like they did back in 1977. Recently my Yelp friend Diele told me she found Heinz beans at Costco for a much better price. I went to my local Costco and picked up a package with 6 cans. I heard on TT today these beans are a limited life item and I will return to buy more before they are discontinued. If you haven't tried these beans, please do. They are healthy and delicious. Thank you, Diele, for the Costco tip. read more

Heinz is a staple growing up in the United States and visiting my dad's family still in England. Get out of here with that "fancy ketchup" when dining out. Heinz or nothing in my opinion! No other ketchup compares. Desperately requesting the following be available in the United States as these tariffs are KILLING ME and love these from England: - Heinz Beans (make a banging beans on toast) - Heinz Cream of Tomato soup (perfection with a cheese toastie) - Heinz Salad Cream (a delightful, tangy topping for salads or used as a spread for sandwiches) Heinz service via delivery options through Amazon have been remarkably easy, and I find more convenient than popping in to an import shop. Though those shops are fun to shop the aisles and have fun decor to look at. Either method of shopping, I've got to have my Heinz products. read more

Today, I had lunch at Chuck's Roadhouse, with two bottles placed on my table: - Steak sauce - Heinz ketchup The Heinz ketchup bottle indicated that the ketchup was "prepared in Canada," but isn't a made-in-Canada product. I then saw this Heinz listing. It brought up some not-so-pleasant memories if you are Canadian, so it's gets four stars here. I remember visiting Philadelphia over a decade ago. I was there for a conference, but had time to do some touristy stuff. There was a lot of pride for the Heinz brand. I remember getting a small plushie of a Heinz ketchup bottle. There was also a mustard bottle plushie, but I'm definitely more of a ketchup person. I remember when McDonald's across Canada switched from using Heinz ketchup in 2013 to its house-brand version. I was sad at first. I've grown to love it. Leamington, Ontario is the tomato capital of Canada. It was Heinz's second-largest tomato processing plant. The company decided to shut this plant down and consolidated ketchup production in the States. It wasn't the best move. 800 Canadian jobs were eliminated. Many Canadians were angry. Highbury Canco Corporation had received a one-year licence to process tomatoes at the facility, saving some 250 jobs. It was cool. French's ketchup is Canadian and a Heinz rival. French's took advantage of the situation by producing its own ketchup brand using Leamington produce. It marketed the brand with an appeal to Canadian patriotism. It has been successful to date, especially with the tariff wars happening. I believe that Heinz decided to set up a tomato processing plant in Mont Royal, Quebec after French's led in the ketchup share in Canada after Heinz said goodbye to its Leamington plant. The "prepared in Canada" holds true. A lot of damage has been done, though. I like Heinz ketchup. However, I am more inclined to support French's these days. (52) read more

I'm a Heinz fan! Over the years I've kept their ketchup and mustard packets in a plastic box in my desk at work to add to nearly any lunch item! I'm more of a mustard fan than ketchup. I've eaten my share of Heinz over the years! Heinz is the prevalent brand at most restaurants and fast food places. These days I think their ketchup is a little too sweet for my tastes, however I still use it occasionally on French Fries. I imagine you would be hard pressed to find an American kitchen without a Heinz condiment! Thanks Heinz! read more

As I'm in a diner right now and pouring a pile of ketchup on my plate for my fries there is only one condiment brand that has been a part of my life from the beginning - Heinz. Burgers, home fries, scrambled eggs, meat loaf and other suspect things I consume such as hot dogs, Heinz ketchup is the best in my opinion. Over the years the flavor has the correct taste and been very consistent. I do hate when I get a food delivery or at a diner and they offer an alternative lower-shelf brand. Yuck. It's like drinking cheap rack liquor at a bar. read more

Like many food products do nowadays , they have novelty gimmicks to create attention. For the super bowl they are introducing KEGCHUP. That alone caught my attention, but also marketing made it into the shape of a keg ! I used to use a lot of ketchup, but have cut back a lot on the bad foods that used to go so well with it. read more

Heinz - I do like seeing the different ways everyday products introduce unexpected new marketing twist. - Specialty Food Near Me

One can take Heinz ketchup and their mustard for granted. If one travels to a foreign country that serves fries, no amount of mayo, curry ketchup or pink sauce will provide the familiar tasty satisfaction of that tomatoes twangy of a condiment. I still take some packets with me when I travel out of America because I know at least one meal will need it. Even egg breakfast dishes become happiness when enhanced by a squeeze from a Heinz ketchup packet while on foreign lands. read more

The H. J. Heinz Company was an American food processing company. The company was founded by Henry J. Heinz in 1869. Heinz manufactures thousands of food products in plants on six continents, and markets these products in more than 200 countries and territories. The company claims to have 150 number-one or number-two brands worldwide. This company has a interesting history you can look up online. When I was growing up Heinz was the ketchup my parents always used. Later I found out I had a severe allergy to tomato so I had to pass on the ketchup. Thanks for the Memories...... It was so VERY good on French Fries and Hamburgers!!! read more

Reading the reviews this doesn't seem like an actual place, but if there is one I'll go. As a boomer this was pretty much THE ketchup. Back when you had to take a separate cap off the bottle. I think Hunt's was around and not too bad. Heinz has that correct sugar ratio for taste. I use it for mixing and topping meatloaf. If you try this top/spread with ketchup the last 15 minutes. I did come across an oddity in a restaurant, Heinz organic, and it's gross. The old staple for yellow mustard is French's. I may have got the Heinz pack at Costco a long time ago. In a taste test I'd never pass the mustard test. Yellow is all the same to me. It makes a great 1000 island dressing along with the Heinz sweet relish. I love being handed a bottle in restaurants for french fries. I learned a trick if it's slow coming out. Tap the number on the side of the bottle with a knife. read more

While using less condiments in general, Heinz ketchup is always a staple. Just when the trick of getting the ketchup out of the glass bottle was reveled plastic squeeze bottles took over the shelves, I now buy Heinz mayonnaise too. Primarily because the brand that was the most popular on the east coast was bought by a conglomerate and radially changed, including making people sick. It belonged in the laxative aisle. Fortunately Heinz Mayonnaise doesn't cause such problems. read more

I'm a Heinz man and always have been. IMHO, their unique blend of tomatoes and spices just works giving me no reason whatsoever to question my allegiance. Until now. Of late, Heinz has been on a price raising tear, lifting the price of a 20oz bottle from a $1.59 to $3.29 in 12 months whereas a bottle of Wegmans Tomato ketchup remains remarkably stable at $1.79. I know it's a small thing and isn't going to break the bank by any means but it's the accumulation of the small things that turn gargantuan in no time. If I meekly accepted a 93% increase on everything I purchase... well you can see the dilemma. I am quite certain that Heinz's costs didn't increase by a similar amount making their increase nothing more than a gouge which is both unfortunate and short-sighted. I suspect my burgers, meatloaf and scrambled eggs are just going to have to muddle through. Two stars with much further to fall for this former customer. read more

I've been using Heinz ketchup for ever. In my opinion it's the best ketchup. I've noticed the prices has went up on it in recent months. So we buy ours at Sams in a 3pk for less than 11bucks. It's so good on fries or onion rings and especially on meatloaf. read more

come on folks when you hear heinz you automatically think of ketchup first and foremost and thats cool cause thats the ketchup i have used for years and bars , diners , restaurants. etc, will agree. they also have other toppings like mustard and what not but its the ketchup that has given heinz its spotlight. they must be doing something right as heinz stadium is where the steelers play and you dont see a stadium named after grey poupon or a1 steak sauce. still my favorite ketchup brand after all these years. read more

Heinz have a new tomato ketchup packaging and I totally love it. When I go to the fast food restaurants, they don't give you the ketchup package that is white where you tear off the corner and squeeze out the ketchup anymore. They have a dual functioning ketchup package now - you could tear off the top and squeeze the ketchup into you hamburger or you could peel off the seal to dip your nuggets into the ketchup. I am totally raving about this new packaging, it's so useful. Whoever came up with this idea is a genius - make it so easy to use. Beside the packaging of the ketchup, the ketchup itself is good. The best and only ketchup brand I buy. read more
