H.J. Heinz
Pittsburgh condiment empire
H.J.
Heinz is the American food company founded in 1869, known primarily for ketchup but also mustard, pickles, beans, and other condiments.
The name refers both to the corporation and its founder, Henry John Heinz.
The company's slogan "57 Varieties" became iconic, though Heinz always produced more than 57 products—the number was chosen for its lucky sound.
Now part of Kraft Heinz, the brand remains synonymous with ketchup: We need more Heinz for the fries.
