PITTSBURGH, CHICAGO, & VANCOUVER, British Columbia–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Nov 4, 2025– Today, HEINZ, the global leader in condiments, is partnering with global lifestyle brand, Herschel Supply, to announce a first-ever collaboration uniting flavor and style. Inspired by the quarter of Gen Z and Millennials who pack their own condiments when dining on-the-go, 1 the collection transforms HEINZ Ketchup into a stylish, travel-ready accessory—allowing fans to carry their favorite sauce with them this travel season, no matter the destination or travel size requirements.

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20251104058172/en/

Today, global condiment leader HEINZ partners with global lifestyle brand Herschel Supply to announce a first-ever collaboration uniting flavor and style.

As two iconic brands in their respective categories, the red-hot, limited-edition collaboration adds flavor to everyday travel in the quality and craftsmanship Herschel and HEINZ are known for. Combining Herschel’s best-selling silhouette with HEINZ’s unmistakably rich “ketchup red” color, the new luggage makes a bold, design-forward travel statement that balances function and style.

The Herschel x HEINZ collection features two standout pieces – the Herschel Heritage™ Hardshell Medium Luggage and the Herschel Heritage™ Hardshell Large Carry-On. Both pieces include features jetsetters love including easy-access split design with a zippered closure, reinforced corners for extra protection and 70% recycled polycarbonate material made tough and impact-resistant to handle all the trips. In addition to the bags’ bold red exterior color, the collection includes unique pops of flavor throughout, including the “tear here” ketchup visual, an interior print featuring HEINZ Ketchup packets and a custom removable belt and luggage tag in the shape of an iconic HEINZ Ketchup packet.

“To our condiment-obsessed fans, ketchup is a non-negotiable on their packing lists,” says Jacqueline Lanphier, Senior Brand Manager, HEINZ. “Whether they are stashing packets in their carry-ons or including a full-sized bottle in their checked bags, this collection celebrates fans’ loyalty and passion for going all in on the things they love no matter where their adventures may take them. As a fellow brand with unapologetic fandom and dedication to style, quality and purpose, Herschel is the perfect partner to bring our vision to life – because life’s too short for bland luggage or bland food.”

The Herschel x HEINZ collection ladders up to HEINZ’s global creative platform “It Has to Be HEINZ,” celebrating the irrational love fans have for the brand’s commitment to rich flavor and uncompromising quality. Similarly, Herschel is globally recognized for designing travel gear that is thoughtfully constructed, built to last and made for people who move through the world with intention. Together, they share a deep commitment to making great products that people love, and the Herschel x HEINZ collection is no exception – offering luggage that’s as functional as it is fashionable.

“Herschel has always been about designing products that are functional, durable, and timeless, with subtle moments of personality and discovery,” says Jamie Cormack, Co-Founder of Herschel Supply. “Collaborating with HEINZ was a natural fit. Their signature red is part of everyday life, instantly familiar and iconic. Together we evolved our Heritage Hardshell with refined details that feel distinctly Herschel and HEINZ.”

The collection is available online at www.herschel.com in the United States and Canada while supplies last. For information on the limited-edition collab and more, keep an eye on @Heinz, @Herschelsupply on Instagram and @Heinz_us, @Herschelsupply on TikTok.

Noah Haswell, Beaver County Radio News

(Pittsburgh, PA) According to a release from AAA East Central, the number of deer-vehicle collisions increases during October and peaks in November and December. Data from PennDOT confirms that in 2024, there were more than 6,426 deer-related crashes in Pennsylvania, resulting in 19 fatalities. According to that same release from AAA East Central, here are some tips for coverage, what to do to prevent a crash involving animal collision and what AAA receommends to do in the event of a deer strike:

AAA’s Recommendation: Check Your Coverage.
AAA Insurance reports that its average deer-related claim in the region is about $5,600, though costs can be much higher depending on the damage to a vehicle.

Collision coverage pays for damage to a vehicle that results from a collision with an object (e.g., a telephone pole, a guard rail, a mailbox), or because of flipping over. AAA East Central recommends motorists opt-in for comprehensive coverage, which is for damage to vehicles covered by disasters “other than collisions” (in this case, contact with animals).

To help prevent a crash or to reduce damage from an animal collision, AAA suggests motorists:

• Pay attention to road signs. Yellow, diamond-shaped signs with an image of a deer indicate areas with high levels of deer activity.
• Keep focused on the road. Ditching distractions is one of the easiest ways to be ready if a deer comes out of nowhere.
• Be especially attentive in early morning and evening hours. Many animals, especially deer, are most active from 5-8 a.m. and 5-8 p.m., prime commuting times for many.
• Use high beams when there’s no oncoming traffic. Animals can be spotted sooner and the light reflecting off their eyes will often reveal their location.
• Slow down and watch for other deer to appear. Deer rarely travel alone, so if there is one, more are likely nearby.
• Resist the urge to swerve. Keep both hands firmly on the wheel and don’t change lanes. Swerving away from animals can confuse them so they don’t know which way to run. It can also put motorists in the path of oncoming vehicles or cause the vehicle to crash into something.
• If the crash is imminent take your foot off the brake. During hard braking, the front end of a vehicle is pulled downward which can cause the animal to travel up over the hood towards the windshield. Letting off the brake can protect motorists from windshield strikes because the animal is more likely to be pushed to one side of the vehicle or over the top of the vehicle.

In the event of a deer strike, AAA recommends:

• Call the police.
• Avoid making contact with the animal. A frightened or wounded animal can hurt people or further injure itself.
• Put the vehicle’s hazard lights on, whether it’s light or dark outside.
• If possible, immediately move the vehicle to a safe location, out of the roadway, and wait for help to arrive.
• Motorists should contact their insurance agent or company representative as quickly as possible to report any damage.
