the standards are maintained at Heinz are American, regardless of where their plants are located. Perhaps, you should become more familiar with the subject matter before you defame honest, hardworking people. It's not nice. It's not a conservative thing to do --- that is one of the Commandments, actually. Not to mention that the entire "outsourcing" charge is ridiculous. American ketchup is made in America. Would those opposed to outsourcing rather that Heinz made every product for the entire world here in America?
Is it even feasible to ship foodstuffs all over the world economically? Given the choice of having American-owned ketchup plants in Europe or having no market share due to higher prices due to shipping costs, any reasonable person would build plants where the markets are.

Dear Dave,
OK, you tell me. What products do those 57 overseas factories produce for Heinz?
I have been boycotting Heinz long before Senator John Kerry decided to run for president. Why? Because Heinz contributes money to pro-abortions groups. And, Dave, abortion is REALLY not nice.
