Heinz tomato ketchup is a household name around the world, including in Israel. But now, thanks to a court ruling, that's about to change... sort of.
Osem, Israel's leading food brand and top producer of ketchup, has succeeded in its bid to knock out its lead rival, by banning it from being called "ketchup."
In its petition to the courts back in January of this year, Osem claimed Heinz's product did not have enough tomato content to be called "ketchup." Now, after a long legal battle, the court has ruled in Osem's favor, and Heinz will henceforth be known as "tomato seasoning."
The move won't effect the English-language labeling, but only applies to its Hebrew description.
According to Israeli law, for a product to be considered "ketchup" it must include at least 41% tomato concentrate. In its petition to the courts, Osem cited studies it had carried out which revealed Heinz contained just 21%.
Heinz's European branch issued a statement responding to the ruling, noting that Israel's ketchup-vetting standards are stricter than most other countries'.

I wonder If Michelle Obama knows about this ?
Sriracha is better. I just wish the made a hot version of it.

Hunt’s or Del Monte beats Jean F’in Kerry’s any day.
Hunt’s isn’t bad, but I’m curious if it too is not tomatoey enough to be called ketchup in the Holy Land.
When I deployed, they were called “Freedom Fries”.
Anyway, “french fries” originated in Belgium & are eaten with mayonnaise, not ketchup.
In Germany they are on the menu as “pommes frites”. Go figure.
It looks like Heinz has to ketch up to the competition...

Heinz is made in Indonesia.
The winner, according to them and their small test group, was Heinz, but Hunt's was #2, and much less expensive, and therefore, the better value.
That video of the robot with the Heinz Ketchup (Heinz is German, no?) bottle is the funniest thing I’ve seen in weeks!
Yeah, they’ll probably have to work on it some more before trying to sell it to restaurants.
I want on this list.
