There’s a Catch to Heinz Ketchup.
Think you are getting a serving of vegetables when you add Ketchup as a condiment to you burger? Well the next time you shake, tap, or bang that bottle of Heinz Ketchup to get it to pour out faster, you may just want to take a look at what it is made of, because it might surprise you that it isn’t made from fresh tomato. Heinz, owned by a company named Diplomat, has been deluding customers into thinking it’s product is 60% tomato whereas actual test conducted by a competitor selling Ketchup in Israel has proven that the reality is that it only contains 21% and it is not even tomato but tomato concentrate.It is Tomato Ketchup, shouldn’t it contain real tomatoes? In it’s defense, Diplomat gave the feeble excuse that it’s percentages are in line with the standards of acceptability for Ketchup products in America and Europe. Israel’s Health Ministry saw through that load of Malarkey and have decried that Heinz will no longer be able to sell their Ketchup in Israel unless they relabel their products as Tomato seasoning instead of Tomato Ketchup.
