OUR TOMATOES

Every tomato in every bottle of Heinz Ketchup sold in the U.S. is grown in America by passionate people dedicated to growing high-quality, non-GMO tomatoes, many of who have farmed with us for generations.

  1. A celebration of simple greatness: a rural landscape embodies the quality and authenticity Heinz values, from the farm to your table.
    Close to Home

    Heinz tomato fields are all within 30 miles of our paste plants. Tomatoes are processed within 4 hours of harvesting, keeping our carbon footprint low while ensuring the highest level of freshness and flavour.

  2. Heinz selects the best ingredients: a close-up of ripe tomatoes, reflecting the brand's commitment to high-quality, recognizable ingredients.
    The Best and The Rest

    95% of our Heinz tomatoes are perfectly ripe when they leave the field. To minimize waste, the less-than-perfect tomatoes get repurposed for feed and compost.

  3. Heinz cares about sustainability: a person feeding seeds to a chicken symbolizes the brand's down-to-earth approach and respect for natural processes.
    Recycled Seeds

    Even after we’ve strained the thick, juicy tomato pulp, the leftover skins and seeds are recycled into livestock feed for use on our farms.

  4. Heinz supports responsible farming: farmers planting seedlings represent the brand's belief in doing common things uncommonly well.
    Conservation Education

    We’ve created agricultural development projects that teach tomato conservation and conservation farming to farms worldwide, including Brazil, Egypt, and Spain.

What Is Regenerative Agriculture And Why Is It Important?

We’re on a mission to care for the world’s soils. 95%* of the food we eat relies on healthy soil but our soils are at risk and could be gone in as little as a generation if we don’t act.
