About Heinz
H. J. Heinz began selling grated horseradish in clear glass jars in Pittsburgh in 1869, so buyers could see there were no fillers. Its tomato ketchup, launched in 1876, became the definitive version of the product. The 57 varieties slogan was invented in 1896 and never reflected an actual count.
