Can't say I'm sorry for that. They closed their ketchup plant in Ontario throwing quite a few workers out on the street. This also affected farmers in the region who supplied tomatoes and other items. Frenches still maintains a Canadian plant so I bought my ketchup from them.

Odd they say sales are up but input costs are too high. They can blame the lower prices of their competitors,but Heinz private labels for lots of them too.

A lot about mega-markets I’ll never understand

Corporate loyalty doesn't pay off for consumers or for employees.

How well do tomatoes actually grow in your area. California supplies most
of the tomato products from my understanding. Where we used to have a duck
club, nearby was a Franko-American tomato paste plant. Smallest container
was 5 gallons.

Ontario isn't "my area".
Tomatoes grow just fine here in the Maritimes and in Ontario.
They are better than the un natural oversized type we see from south of the border during our off season.

That's because we ship you the **** tomatoes, picked while green.

We keep the good ones for ourselves.

Well...how 'merican of y'all!
Just the opposite here. We always claimed that our best apples were shipped overseas and we got the lesser quality ones for home consumption. The idea was to maintain our exports.

We grow 10 of thousands of acres of tomatoes for canning. Other than they
spray the fields with a ripening Agent shortly before harvest, they almost
all are ripe. Determinant varieties.
