Heinz Salad Cream has been brightening up our food & mood for nearly 100 years! It was the first Heinz product developed specifically for the UK market in 1914, and took 8 years to perfect – but was definitely worth the wait, and is now the nation’s favourite salad cream! During World War II, when many ingredients were in short supply & Heinz Tomato Ketchup was taken off the shelves, the nation reached for Heinz Salad Cream to add a tasty zing to often bland food.
