Kraft Heinz Canada has recently made a strong statement defending the production of its iconic Heinz Ketchup, amid political discussions surrounding its origins.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s remarks had suggested that the ketchup may not be made in Canada, leading to a wave of confusion.
However, Kraft Heinz has quickly clarified that its ketchup is indeed produced locally at their Mont Royal facility in Quebec, ensuring that the product stays true to its Canadian roots.
The company emphasized that the ketchup is made from tomatoes sourced directly from Leamington, Ontario — a region known for its rich agricultural history and where Kraft Heinz remains the largest purchaser of tomatoes.
In fact, the Canadian production of Heinz Ketchup has been going on for over 100 years, with a brief disruption between 2015 and 2020. Kraft Heinz made it clear that the ketchup is manufactured in Canada, contributing to local economies and supporting over 1,000 Canadian jobs.
This clarification comes at a time when there has been growing concern over potential countervailing tariffs on Heinz Ketchup, triggered by the political debate.
Kraft Heinz Canada expressed disappointment with the misleading statements, stressing the company’s commitment to Canadian manufacturing and its long-standing role in the agriculture sector.
The backlash surrounding the ketchup’s production has led Kraft Heinz to reassert its pride in its Canadian operations and its deep-rooted connection to local farmers.
As the debate continues to unfold, Kraft Heinz remains committed to producing high-quality products that are both made in Canada and sourced from Canadian agriculture.
For those interested in keeping up with Heinz Ketchup and its contributions to the Canadian economy, the company has continued to engage with its customers through its official social media channels, including Instagram.
In a time when the ‘Made in Canada’ label carries significant weight, Kraft Heinz’s decision to remind the public of its local commitment demonstrates the value of transparency and pride in Canadian manufacturing.
