Historical NotesSample of the new label Heinz released in Britain, early in 2009. The company retired the familiar pickle symbol from their label to emphasize their commitment in promoting the natural ingredients of their tomato ketchup. The "Grown Not Made" campaign was so successful in the United Kingdom that Heinz made little changes in introducing it to America a few months later.
