McDonald's has lost its taste for Heinz ketchup. The fast-food giant
says it is cutting ties with the condiment company after 40 years
because of management changes there.
A former Burger King CEO became head of Heinz in June after the company was bought by Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway and Capital. 3G also controls Burger King.
The impact of the change might be tasted more overseas. In the U.S.,
McDonald's uses Heinz products only in Pittsburgh and Minneapolis
restaurants.
"As a result of recent management changes at Heinz, we have decided
to transition our business to other suppliers over time," McDonald's
Corp. said in a statement on Friday
It's amazing that after 40 years McDonald's has cut off their connections with the well known ketchup vender. Everyone who goes to McDonald's is so use to the tastes of Heniz ketchup. Its weird that the new management is the reasoning that the condiment. McDonald's is a very well known fast food joint so they makes tons of money and everyone that's a vender for them makes a certain percentage .It's a very sad case.

ReplyDeleteDoes ketchup really matter in the end? I go eat regardless of the ketchup. But I guess we'll see.
