Question: Heinz secret ingredient!?
Heinz tomato sauce has a secret ingredient, hence it's great taste!.
Heinze don't tell anyone what this ingredient is but, how do they know that nobody is allergic to this ingredient!?
Don't they have to put all ingredients on the bottle by law incase someone is allergic to it!?Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
By law, all ingredients in the product has to be clearly labled on the bottle!.

The 'secret ingredient' may be mentioned however, not clearly or specificly mentioned on the bottle such as just 'spices'!.
In other words, the products ingredients lable may not mention these 'spices!.'

The 'secret ingredient' may be an advertising thing for the company to make money!.

The ingredient could be not such an obvious one such as 'herb extracts' or one that people may suspect!.

Or the ingredient may be one that is not commonly one that people are allergic to or does not have the potential to be an allergy food such as nuts or dairy foods!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

The "secret" ingredient has to be on the bottle, although some labels are vague with ingredients like "spices!."

Corporate secrets like that are bogus, anyway!. Like Coca-Cola's "secret formula" or "the Colonel's secret blend of eleven herbs and spices!." It's just marketing hype!.

Fact is, no one would want their secret!. Church's or Popeye's wouldn't want to make knock-off KFC chicken, anyway!. They have their own thing going and would have to charge less than KFC if they were copying it's chicken or people would just get the real stuff!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

'Secret ingredient' just means that there is something that makes it taste good!. They can give you all the ingredients on the packet, but they don't tell you which is the 'secret' one!. My guess is tomatoes!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

yea they do have to put all the ingredients on the bottle its illegal not to!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
