Has anyone else noticed that Heinz has introduced mustard and French's has started selling ketchup.
All out war during grilling season.

Chances are that both companies use mustard seed imported from Canada. Canada is the world's largest exporter of mustard seed, also the largest producer of mustard seed in the world.
I love watching documentary shows on the food network about food production and the showed filmed at the Springfield, Missouri French's plant. French's is the dominant brand of yellow mustard in the US, Multiple truck loads of mustard seed arrive daily from Canada.
Malcolm Gladwell's classic article about why there are a zillion mustards but Heinz is the undisputed king of ketchup:
