Continuing a Tradition of Quality

Heinz has been at the forefront of industry issues and has anticipated and responded to consumer needs from its beginning. In fact, Henry John Heinz championed the Pure Food and Drug Act and was instrumental in its passage in 1906. He demonstrated his commitment to quality and purity by packaging his first product, horseradish, in clear glass jars. His vision to ensure quality and purity, protect consumers and plan for the future is still very much a part of the Company’s culture.

Our commitment to quality and food safety is the core of our mission. Our quality assurance principles, procedures, standards and technology help maintain Heinz’s reputation as one of the most trusted brands in the world. In fact, Heinz has achieved the highest satisfaction rating of any food company for nine consecutive years, according to the University of Michigan’s American Customer Satisfaction Index.
