Be careful about off brands or relabels . Some of them are made by Heinz ( and others ), but there's no easy way to find out who is the original production company.

We'll stop eating before we'll support Heinz products! But many thanks for the information - we will watch most carefully.

Often, a good inspection of the packaging will give you a clue. I think it has to do with the production lines. It is easy to slap a different label on a bottle, but harder for a machine to accept a different size or shape. Also I have noticed a few that 'hint'(with named comparisons on the label!) at who makes it.

Also sometimes the ingredient list can help. Compare two name brands of a product, find the differences, then check the store brand for which one it is, sometimes it works.
