Heinz U-turn over ‘Sandwich Cream’

Food giant Heinz has bowed to the “will of the people” and decided against changing the name of its Salad Cream to Sandwich Cream.

Fans of the condiment made their outrage known in June when parent company Kraft Heinz announced that it was considering a name change for the first time in 104 years.

Heinz said research found just 14 per cent of consumers used the cream on salads, with most considering it an alternative to mayonnaise with tuna, ham or cheese in sandwiches.
