The Heinz baked beans label has been reimagined to help celebrate the company's 50th anniversary in the UK.

Beanz Meanz Heinz limited edition cans have been produced with 50 uniquely named labels such as 'Heinz means homez', 'Heinz means kidz' and 'Heinz means palz'.

Sold through Selfridges, the commemorative cans honour the brand's famous slogan, and have been personally signed by Maurice Drake, the advertising copywriter who came up with it in 1967.

Design agency Jones Knowles Ritchie (JKR) created the label design, working to tap into a sense of recognition and comfort in the household brand while bringing it to a younger generation.

Food & Drink Business

Our Top 100 2025 edition of Food & Drink Business magazine is more than the annual flagship Top 100 Report. Industry leaders reflect on the year past and the one ahead, we provide our annual news review, M&A wrap-up, and all the executive moves, and a Roman-inspired sports drink, Posca, is our final Rising Star for 2025.

A blend of salt, red wine vinegar, and water – known as Posca – was the ‘original sports drink’, helping to keep the soldiers of the Roman Empire marching up to 30 kilometres per day. Keira Joyce spoke with Posca Hydrate co-founders, Merrick Watts and Ed Stening, about reviving a 2000-year-old functional beverage for the modern healthy lifestyle.

From the big deals to the quiet divestments, Food & Drink Business editor, Kim Berry, recounts the mergers and acquisitions of 2025.
