French's introduces "100 per cent Canadian" ketchup
The CBC reports [www.cbc.ca] that
Previously some French's ketchup sold in Canada was manufactured in the United States, but that's no longer the case.
The company has begun ketchup production in the North York [wikipedia.org] district of Toronto, using tomatoes grown in Canada. In 2014, competitor Heinz (now Kraft Heinz [wikipedia.org]) closed [www.cbc.ca] the factory in Leamington, Ontario [wikipedia.org] where Heinz had begun; a wave of nationalist fervour [www.cbc.ca] followed when [nationalpost.com]
[...] a Facebook post by Orillia resident Brian Fernandez went viral, extolling the virtues of French’s ketchup and sympathizing with Leamington over the loss of Heinz jobs.
