Does that mean our baked beans are German?
I only know about Heinz ketchup...
Henry J. Heinz (1844-1919) was the founder and president of the H. J. Heinz Company (1869, as Heinz Noble & Company) in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. His father, Henry (Heinrich) Heinz, was born in Kahlstadt, Bavaria, and came to America in 1840.
In 1843 he married Anna Margaretta Schmitt, also from Germany, and a little more than a year later Henry John Heinz was born. The company's famous slogan, "57 varieties," was introduced by Heinz in 1896.
The number was chosen merely for its sound, since even at that time Heinz was producing many more than 57 product varieties. Heinz revolutionized the way that food and condiments were marketed and sold. By the early 1900s Heinz had also opened factories in England. Heinz became so well established there that many Brits thought it was a British company. Today the H.J. Heinz Co. has plants and distributors all over the world.
