Heinz Tomato Ketchup

Okay kiddo, let me tell you all about Heinz tomato ketchup.

Tomatoes are yummy fruits that grow on plants and can be used to make all sorts of yummy foods. In the case of Heinz ketchup, they use only the juiciest, ripest tomatoes to ensure a delicious taste.

The ketchup making process starts by washing and chopping the tomatoes into tiny pieces. Then they mix the chopped tomatoes with vinegar, sugar, and spices in a big pot.

They heat up the mixture slowly, and keep stirring it until it turns into a thick sauce - sort of like melted candy - and that's the ketchup!

But before they can put the ketchup in the bottle and send it to stores, they have to do some important steps to make sure it's safe and healthy to eat. They put the ketchup through a special machine that removes any bits that are not smooth enough, and also kills off any bad germs that might be hiding in there.

Then they fill up the bottles with the ketchup and put a cap on it so it stays fresh.

Now you can enjoy your yummy Heinz ketchup on your favourite foods and make your taste buds happy!
