This is going to be a FR exclusive: Here goes:

For years I worked at Wainwright Cold Storage (now out of business) as an accountant in Pittsburgh. We would hold most of Heinz Foods fresh products.

For a long time I was wondering why on earth we stored so many carrots for Heinz.

One day I had the situation of visiting the plant where they actually make Ketchup. I wanted to see where our stored products went.

Here is the clinker. "Almost 50% of Heinz Catsup is CARROTS". Oh, it doesn't say it on the bottle in the ingredients. To this day, it is still one of the best kept secrets in the industry.

Now you know.

That is interesting. It is still the best ketchup I have ever eaten, at least for my taste buds.

I suppose the fact that Heinz makes baby food couldn't possibly account for the use of carrots?

If what you say is true, then Heinz has been violating federal labeling laws for ever. Doesn't come close to passing the smell test.
