In June 2005, Heinz purchased the parent company, HP Foods, from Danone [1]. However, in October of that year, the UK Office of Fair Trading referred the takeover to the Competition Commission [2], who gave go-ahead for the £440m acquisition in April 2006 [3].
In May 2006, Heinz announced plans to switch production of HP Sauce from Aston to its European sauces facility in Elst, Holland, prompting a boycott of all Heinz products by many people in Birmingham.
apprantly some rival company is trying to steal the houses of parliament pic to use on theirs.they reckon HP will no longer have the right to use that picture if the sauce isnt made in UK.
