Officials discovered the fake ketchup factory
after tenants complained about flies and rotten odors coming from
another part of the 7,000-square-foot warehouse in Dover, N.J. They
found thousands of plastic bottles labeled Heinz ketchup, many of which
had exploded after Heinz representatives say that they think someone bought large
containers of regular Heinz Ketchup and poured it into bottles labeled
"Simply Heinz," a higher-priced product made with cane sugar instead of
high-fructose corn syrup.
"Based on our preliminary investigation, it appears that the unauthorized operation purchased traditional Heinz ketchup and then repackaged the product illegally,"Jessica Jackson, a spokesperson for Heinz North America, said in a statement.
