3. Osem vs Heinz ketchip
Jonathan Magidovitch ,   Karmiel Israel   (01.14.15)
Dear Osem, Mr. Goldberg, Your ketchup is not as tasty as Heinz'. Make better tasting ketchup and then you will sell more than Heinz does. Do not use arcane regulatory warfare in an attempt to knock out your competitor. That is low. I would look upon your company and all its products as coming from a low place and would be loathe to buy anything you produce. thank you, Jonathan Magidovitch
4. Osem is it
Alexander Scheiner ,   Israel   (01.13.15)
Mrs. Heinz is an outspoken Antisemit and hates Israel. Anyway, Osem products are definitely better and haelthier, namely for Kids.
5. Hey boys - leave my Heinz ketchup alone !

Some should stop being such a bully
8. If it isnt cottage cheese or some other food
Al   (01.15.15)
its Ketchup or some other thing. Grow the hell up and stop the nonsense. One thing I have noticed is the Israelis are starting to get fat. Ketchup is pure sugar with a drop of tomato paste.
9. pot calling kettle black
Rory Malaways ,   Canada   (01.15.15)
Hey Osem - what is misleading is labelling mayonnaise as "amiti"or genuine when it is not and there are no eggs in that product.

Fructose corn syrup is NOT healthy. Ist BAD for Kids.
11. OSEM makes me

gag.
12. Come on! Heinz is lying simple as that...
David ,   CO/USA   (01.17.15)
Better ask why Heinz tastes so much better? It's a NWO Company that supports Israel's enemies so go to 2nd Vote.com to see them all...
13. Why does ketchup cost $3 to $4 in Israel?
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (01.18.15)
Irrespective of the cost or amount of tomato concentrate in it no one should consume it for health reasons.
14. The real ketchup
Norman Gellman ,   Israel   (01.19.15)
IN 1801, a recipe for tomato ketchup was created by Sandy Addison and was later printed in an American cookbook, the Sugar House Book. Ketchup as we know it is an American invention Osem is not the original ketchup and for many of us does not taste as good as Heniz who has been making ketchup for a long time. perhaps Osem should drop its Ketchup line.
15. Heinz & Osem ketchup
Ann ,   Israel   (01.19.15)
I believe in competition in the market place. I think Osem should learn this, especially since the ketchup they have seems to have to much sugar. So therefore we should have more than one brand to choose from.

Bluegrass Picker ,   Afula   (01.20.15)
look at youtube video's of the IsraelNavy song troupe of today; and compare with the youtubes of the same unit, which were filmed in the 70s. Yes.... Israeli kids who are selected for the high-profile public limelight.... are getting FAT
17. OSEM MONOPOLY MUST BE THOROUGHLY INVESTIGATED AND DIVESTED.
Jewdicial ,   ATLANTA GA USA   (01.20.15)
MONOPOLIES IN ISRAEL ARE TRAITOROUS EVENTS...OSEM must be given competition...that is why Heinz (owned by spouse of USA state dept Foreign minister.KERRY)..what a coincidence?) Close down Osem now, it is an undemocratic monopoly, which is more important than a not KOSHER enough.
18. Soar losers
Planet Earth   (01.20.15)
Nothing like some healthy conflict resolution. Osem's sales rep. when their product stinks : Tell them its not legally ketchup. hahhahhhaha
19. AMEN!!!
Idfmom ,   Jerusalem israel   (01.20.15)
20. 10 Alexander Schiener: You misread my post. The Jim Bakker
Rivkah   (02.02.15)
Show ketchup does not have GMO beet sugar or high fructose corn syrup; therefore, the Jim Bakker Show Ketchup is healthy and good for you. You are right that GMO beet sugar and high fructose corn syrup are not good for people to eat or drink. Jim Bakker Show ketchup has neither.
21. This is insane
Reasonable person   (08.19.15)
If they want kids to eat more vegetables and tomatoes then give them tomatoes to eat - not ketchup which is so full of sugar it should not be encouraged. But if you do want ketchup (and many of us do from time to time) then you may as well have ketchup that tastes like ketchup and that means Heinz - Osem is just a pale imitation. But to use the government and courts to fight your competition - that's just insane.
