Heinz Isn't Ketchup in Israel, Health Ministry Rules

Heinz's product must be called 'tomato seasoning' instead; ruling does
not affect English labeling.
Haaretz Aug 18, 2015 8:15 PM

Seeing red: Israeli food maker claims Heinz ketchup isnt the real
thing

The brand Heinz may be synonymous with ketchup for most of the world,
but no longer in Israel, the Health Ministry recently ruled.

Heinz will no longer be allowed to label its red sauce as "ketchup" in
Hebrew in Israel after local food manufacturer Osem successfully argued
that its competitor's product doesn't meet the definition of Israel's
tandards institute, Israeli news site Ynet reported.

Heinz's product must be called "tomato seasoning" instead.

The ruling does not affect English labeling.

Osem petitioned against its competitor, arguing that the Heinz ketchup
does not contain enough tomato paste to be considered ketchup under
Israeli regulations.

Heinz's local importer, Diplomat, is filing its own petition to have the
local definition of ketchup changed. Diplomat has the backing of the
Health Ministry's food division, Ynet reported.

The health ministry is backing diplomat and is now seeking to change the
standard from 10% tomato solids to 6%.

The Histadrut labor federation's consumer protection authority objects
to Diplomat's petition. Why? It's all about the children, a
representative told Ynet - the Histadrut wants to make sure that
children are eating as much tomato as possible in their ketchup.

What a silly fight. Who cares about Israel anyway, except their
citizens? Arguing over what is defined as ketchup in Israel? Really?

I could have told them that 20 years ago... that's when I stopped buying
Heinz.

Did you read the article. Israel has laws regarding food standards and
in order to be called ketchup it has to meet a certain percentage for
tomato content. They are saying that there is not enough tomato in it.
That might explain why Heinz is so lacking in tomato flavour these days.

The main question is, has Heinz changed its formulation?
If not, to me it sounds like non-tariff protectionism for a local
product.

Children should be discouraged from eating a product that contains
as much salt and sugar as ketchup does.

And for O: the original ketjap was a soy sauce. That's why people
say "mushroom ketchup," "tomato ketchup," etc.

No I didn't set out to be offensive but sure enough, what's his name
got offended. I was joking, not upset. Israel's definition of what
is ketchup is so petty. That's why their taxes are so high just like
every other country's taxes are too high. Politicians making rules as
to the definition of ketchup. idiots in all countries.

Not to me. It only concerns the Hebrew labeling. They don't have to
change the English label.

FWIW... Heinz calls their product Tomato Ketchup.

I don't use much ketchup. Maybe that is why I may have noticed the
drastic dumbing down of tomato ketchup over the years. It is no longer
a thick, rich tomato product. It is runny and sweet. I have been looking
for a better quality ketchup for some time. The best I have found so
far is Bodacious, an organic product. I don't particularly care whether
or not it really is organic, but it is a lot better than Heinz or any
other ketchup I have had lately.

I think that they are things that government should be doing, and
setting food standards is one of them. That being said, I can't always
agree with the standards they do establish because they are not always
what most people would assume them to me. For instance, in the UK,
"The term €œfresh€� should not be used, directly or by implication, on
juices prepared by dilution of concentrates. " Note the use of the word
"should" rather than "must". "Pure" is no guarantee with juices. They
can say it is pure if it is made from concentrate, and they can add
sugar to sweeten it and they can add lemon juice or ascorbic acid to
correct the taste.

Agree.

I buy Cucina Antica brand organic tomato ketchup. I think I bought it
at Safeway. Made in USA, USDA organic cert (no GMO), no weird
chemicals. Tastes like I remember ketchup tasting 30-40 yrs ago.

BTW Dave, ketchup is supposed to be sweet. Otherwise it'd jes be some
sorta tomato paste.

I don't know about supposed to be. I realize that a lot of people seem
to like it sweet so they make it to appeal to the market. I think it is
that sweetness that turns me off ketchup. It also has vinegar and
various spices in it.

I have on rare occasions had home made ketchup. When I was a kid my
parents had a pair of friends who were older than my grandparents. He
was in his 90s and that was back in the 50s, so he would have been
before 1870. He had worked as a sailor, a real sailor. He had sailed
around the Cape Horn in a sailing ship in his youth. He was a passionate
gardener and she was the consummate house wife of her age, doing all the
canning and cooking with their garden produce. There was no Jello in
their house. She made gelatin, flavoured with fresh or preserved fruits.
Her chili sauce and tomato ketchup were wonderful.

I don't understand why it's an issue when there are so many other
choices. Simply Heinz is delicious.

Take your no sugar added tomato ketchup and go sit in the corner with
Cindy and her no sugar added whipped cream.

I add a little sugar when I whip cream. Just not as much as Reddi-Whip
does.

Similarly Putin has decided that a lot of cheese, canned meats, flowers
and a few jillion other rapidly-shifting products/services aren't up to
his gulag's standards, and won't be until we start kissing his tiny
tush.

Seems Netanyahoo wants us to go fight a war with Iran and be quick
about it. He'll likely punish Kraft foods in other ways if we don't. O
woe!

Gee...go figure...after Iran announced to the world:

http://www.timesofisrael.com/iran-mi...nonnegotiable/

The commander of the Basij militia of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards said
that “erasing Israel off the map” is “nonnegotiable,” according to an
Israel Radio report Tuesday.

Naqdi’s comments were made public as Iran and six world powers prepared
Tuesday to issue a general statement agreeing to continue nuclear
negotiations in a new phase aimed at reaching a comprehensive accord by
the end of June.

In 2014, Naqdi said Iran was stepping up efforts to arm West Bank
Palestinians for battle against Israel, adding the move would lead to
Israel’s annihilation, Iran’s Fars news agency reported.

“Arming the West Bank has started and weapons will be supplied to the
people of this region,” Naqdi said.


No what do you think, in your pinhead mind, Iran will do with an
infusion of BILLIONS of dollars in frozen assets if we sign this "end of
the world" deal with them?

Grow a brain.
