H. J. Heinz was founded when Henry J. Heinz began packing foodstuffs in Sharpsburg, Pennsylvania in 1869.
He founded Heinz Noble & Company and began to sell horseradish. This company failed and he started another company, F&J Heinz with his brother John Heinz and cousin Frederick Heinz. One of the company’s first products was tomato ketchup.
In 1888 the company reorganized as the H.J. Heinz Company with its slogan “57 Varieties.”
Today Heinz is still known for its “57 Varieties” slogan and ketchup.
The food processing company manufactures thousands of food products in plants on six continents. The products are marketed in more than 200 countries and territories worldwide.
In 2013 Heinz was purchased 3G Capital (50%) and Berkshire Hathaway (50%) for $23 billion.
Heinz is #26 on the list of Forbes Largest Private Companies, is #234 on the Fortune 500, is #418 in the FT Global, and had $11.64 billion in revenue in 2012.

Contacting this company really sucks as no one wants to help. I was told to email my complaint to Erin Ondek who is the Admin for the CEO Bernardo Hees. I did that and she wrote back the following: “I have forwarded your email to the appropriate party as I do not have any connection with the Consumer Relations department.” I then sent my email with photos to Bernardo Hees and have heard nothing. I followed this up with phone calls and they will not let me talk to Hees or Erin Ondek. If I do not get a response from this posting I am putting the pictures on FB. I am sure t hat the moldy cheese photos will get someones attention. Please read the following to see what I am complaining about.
I purchased Cracker Barrel Colby cheese on 9/30/2018 from my local Publix. I did not open it until yesterday 10/3/2018. When I opened it was all moldy. DISGUSTING. This is not the first time this has happened and for that reason I am writing to complain. The date on the package is Dec 2018 so why is it already moldy? It has been in the refrigerator since I bought it. I am very upset about this as I paid over $4.00 for this package of cheese slices and had to throw them in the garbage. This also happened when I purchased your cheddar slices and muenster slices also at a cost of $4.00. You really need to do something to prevent this mold from happening. (I noticed on your complaint page that I am not the only customer this has happened to.) It would be great if you refunded my money for the three packages that were moldy. A coupon for a free package of cheese will not help as I will not buy them again. I cannot afford to pay for cheese and then throw it all away. By the way, nowhere on the package does it say perishable or must be eaten the same day purchased. I remain an unhappy consumer.

I just saw the taping of Muslim workers in Cairo at a Heinze factory. I am appalled at what I saw. I would hope none of that product would come to the United States and also those workers would be fired.
I have bought your product for over 60 years, it upsets me a great deal that you would take some of your manufacturing out of the United States into a foreign country. Why would you not put another plant in America and give more American people jobs. Please explain to me why you would not support the United States of American and give money to people of this country over those in other countries.
My family, our church and a resturant in the family have decided to not buy Heinze products again. I am terribly disappointed in this actions I just saw. You have the best product but I am many others are willing to sacrafice buying a top quality product over a second best because of this incident.
It is with regret after 60 years of purchasing your product I will never buy from Heinze again. This is horrifying to see and know you would go outside the US for more business.
I purchased a Jar of gravy and it had green mold in it. It was disgusting. Should I call the health dept?
