Nanoparticles[edit]

Heinz is using nanoparticles in it's ketchup recipe in order to control viscosity. There was a German tv documentation about it, about two months ago on one of the countries leading stations (ARD). Has anyone English sources for it? 84.152.32.44 (talk) 13:36, 24 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Globalize[edit]

The article is almost exclusively about Heinz's North American operations. They are a global company with plants making ketchup all over the place - there's a huge factory near Wigan in the UK, for example. Claims that "most of the world's" ketchup is made in Fremont and Leamington seem very dubious and are unreferenced. --Ef80 (talk) 21:24, 18 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Unreferenced claims may be removed from the article. NotYourFathersOldsmobile (talk) 01:05, 27 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Ef80, It is only after I also just noticed (some four and a half years later) and corrected some wildly inaccurate claims (which seemed to *magnify* over the years, mind you, after perusing blame) that I glanced at this Talk page and saw your comment. -- Top5a (talk) 13:11, 4 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Promotional?[edit]

If well sourced, I don't see why the descriptions of the cultural influence and many tie-in products referencing the Heinz ketchup brand are necessarily promotional? Heinz is by far the largest ketchup brand in the USA. Do folks really think Heinz PR people are going and trying to drive more ketchup sales with a wiki entry? Talking about all the content that was removed from this version[1], the trim seems too aggressive. To clarify, there is good cleanup work as well. Andre🚐 20:35, 3 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
