French's Canadian made Ketchup

[Bpeep]

I haven't eaten ketchup since I was a little kid.
I never trusted the colorings. Still don't.
On that note, I trust nothing that comes from a big company.
It's their mandate to satisfy shareholders.
They do that by rendering a profit from "product".
They're the same peeps who have much clout with government.

On a side note- isn't John Kerry married into the heinz family?

^^^Yes, but that won't help him ... Kerry and Heinz signed a prenuptial agreement and have kept their premarital assets separate.

On a scale of 1 to 10, ten being Heinz, where would you rate Frenches ?

TORONTO—French’s ketchup has won over another fan — the company that runs A&W restaurants in Canada.

A&W says it has now decided to serve French’s Tomato Ketchup and Classic Yellow Mustard in all of its restaurants across Canada.

The company has 850 locations, making it the second-largest burger chain in Canada.

A&W’s endorsement is the latest publicity win for French’s ketchup, which became an Internet and media darling after a man’s Facebook post lauded the U.S.-based company for using 100 per cent Canadian-grown tomatoes.

As a Canadian whose tired of seeing American companies move their production facilities south, I'm proud to support a product which will help keep some Canadian jobs in Canada. So I'll be buying French's ketchup in future.

But, that said, it's important to remember that some Heinz Pasta Sauces and beans are still produced in Ontario. So, as a lover of Heinz Baked Beans, I'll continue to buy those as well. However Heinz ketchup is going to be a definite no no in my house from now on, because I think it's important to send Heinz a message that they were wrong to put all those Leamington workers out of a job.

If we Canadians don't stick up for Canadian workers, who will?
