Ahh, labelling laws... I don't think there's a country out there that
doesnt need to completely revise their labelling standards.

New Zealand allows 'made in NZ', even though the goods in question may
come from elsewhere. Australian laws allow for imported items to be
used in 'Australian made' products, for example.

I never take tallies. My responses are on based on inaccuracies,
misinformation, lies and foolishness. If they come up in the first

There was nothing in there about keeping our the competition. They can
still sell their product, they just can't use call it tomato ketchup on
the Hebrew label. They can use it on the English labels. They point is
that they there is so little tomato in it that it does not qualify as
tomato ketchup.

Good for them. I had already given up on Heinz tomato ketchup because it
didn't have much of a tomato taste anymore.

You don't think is will affect sales? They are entitled to make
whatever definition and rules they want, but I'd like to know more about
the reason. Lobbyist often get partisan specifications into laws. I
don't know if that is the case here.

I don't think there is any reason to suspect that it had anything to do
with anything other than their food quality standards. No one is telling
then that they can't sell it. They are just saying that if they want to
sell it as tomato ketchup with a Hebrew label it has to be at least 10%
tomato solids. The imported wants to change the definition and drop the
tomato solids level to 6%.

Basically, the Heinz product is has a little more than half the tomato
content that Israeli standards require to call it ketchup. Having been
very disappointed with the diminishing quality of ketchup over the
years, I applaud them.

OK by me, but I'd like to know where the standard came from. If you
were a ketchup maker with 12% solids and had the ear of the standards
writer, what you you tell him the specs should be? It would be to your
benefit of have the tomato syrup on the back shelf.

These classifications and legal challenges are very common in the US,
as well as abroad. Why this tempest has made the news is anyone's
guess, but likely Heinz's fighting back in as big a way as they can to
protect their imagery.

I have done a lot of the background legal research for just such
claims over the year....big companies, small companies, famous ones,
not so famous ones (until news of the suits or claims challenges
occur). Whole industries have sprung up around this sort of thing.

Legal product claims are challenged in court all the time. Add in any
deviation from industry or governmental regs and you have a house
afire.

It just isn't rare. In this case, though, a few things appear at this
point to be interesting...there are govt standards in place for
ketchup definitions in Israel (Remember when after Reagan's huge USDA
funding, suddenly ketchup was declared a fruit/vegetable for school
lunches? These crazy things happen), Heinz claimed their product
contained a certain amount of tomato solids, then, their main
competitor and the holder of the largest market share over there,
decided to test the Heinz claims.

Write up is here.

http://europe.newsweek.com/israel-ke...asoning-331848

"Israeli food manufacturer Osem, which supplies the largest portion of
Israel's ketchup with a 66% market share, argued that Heinz ketchup
did not have the required tomato content to be defined as ketchup
under Israeli food regulations.

In January, Osem sent a letter to retailers which revealed it had
tested Heinz ketchup in a "leading European external laboratory,"
discovering that the condiment only held 21% of tomato concentrate,
according to the Times of Israel. The findings were contrary to
Heinz's advertising, which said the content held 61% tomato
concentrate. Israeli food standards require ketchup to hold 41% of
tomato concentrate.

Osem also claimed that Heinz bottles, advertised as containing 39%
tomato concentrate, only contained just 17%.

The company which distributes Heinz ketchup within Israel, Diplomat,
saw red over Osem's campaign against Heinz and issued a strongly
worded statement in January in reply to the letter, taking a swipe at
Osem's control of the market.

"Obviously, Osem, which has a monopoly, would be happy if it were only
possible to sell their product in Israel," a spokesperson for Diplomat
told Israel's Ynet News website in January. "But Osem's claims have no
substance.""

The distributor is now filing its own petition to change the
definition of ketchup within Israel and the requirements of a ketchup
product from 10% tomato solids to 6%. The potential alteration has the
support of the Health Ministry's food division, Israeli daily
newspaper Haaretz reported.

For the record, I never once even considered sleeping with you. And
you know that. You're the one who somehow got the idea that I was
going to move in with you - and you posted that to RFC just out of the
total blue.

After having met you twice at casual austin.food gatherings 2 or 3
years ago and not giving you any indication that there was any sort of
romantic interest in the least, you somehow twisted that into MY
MOVING IN WITH YOU?

That was just way too Psycho for me. I sat there at stared at the
screen for at least 15 minutes wondering, WTF? That was just way too
spooky. I've met weird, semi-psycho women before but you win, hands
down. Mapi of austin.general still holds the male title, but at least
he announced his psychosis right there lying on the floor of the bar
at B.D. Reilly's rather than romantically obsessing over me for 2
years.

Needless to say, you need to come to terms with what happened and why
your mind works that way and stop making up excuses for your fixation
and disappointment before we become the next Yoli and Michael. I'd
prefer you use a sniper rifle on me from a few hundred yards away.
There you go - a reason for you to buy yet another gun and ammo.

And Jeremy, I was just tired of your decade of bullshit and visions of
grandeur about all these things you're "working on" or have not done
in the past. Even posting a call for meetings with imaginary people
about imaginary projects of yours at "the normal time and place", as
if you are somebody important with a life. I'm pretty sure you're
manic depressive mixed with habitual liar.

Sorry I don't fit either of your Ideal Psycho Pal Profiles.

Probably because Heinz is a Kraut name. Truth is whether Heinz,
Hunt's, Del Monte, Walmart Great Value, or any store brand... after
the second burger n' fries no one can tell the difference.

I have, on at least three prior occasions, written posts that delve into
the “alleged” lurid past of one of our former presidents, George Herbert
Walker Bush (GHWB), the current but ailing patriarch of the Bush Family
Dynasty – I refer to them as the Bush Family Crime Syndicate, certainly
not in terms of endearment – but rather more like the Mafia Godfather
who prepares his sons to take over the family business upon his death.
This particular post references an article by Stew Webb, a contributor
of Veterans Today.

In his life-time, George H. W. Bush (GHWB) has controlled every
clandestine (hidden from view) and secret organization/operation within
the arsenal of the United States government as either 1) Director of the
CIA, 2) Vice President to Ronald Reagan (who was an unwitting puppet to
the Bush controlled cabal – GHWB secretly gave Reagan poisons that
hastened his fall into Alzheimer’s Disease and evidence suggests he
helped plan Reagan’ attempted assassination by John Hinckley, whose
family were close friends of the Bush family – a coincidence?) and 3)
ultimately as President of the United States before Bill Clinton took
office.
