Truth in Labeling

Truth in labeling has been a hallmark at Heinz for 140 years. The Regulatory Affairs departments of Heinz affiliates leverage our global database to maintain a labeling compliance platform that is intended to ensure that consumers receive accurate and up-to-date information about the ingredients and nutritional value of our products. Heinz takes rigorous steps intended to ensure our product labeling meets our Company’s high standards for clarity and accuracy and also conforms to the unique labeling requirements of each country where we sell our products. In Fiscal Years 2008 and 2009, Heinz achieved the highest level of Regulatory Compliance with no notable or significant irregularities.

Our labeling also addresses nutritional content and food allergies. Around the world, consumers with dietary restrictions can find information on our labels to help them make informed purchase decisions. In addition, a comprehensive list of all Heinz gluten-free products has been established online for consumers with these specific nutritional needs.
