Daddies is a brand ofketchup andbrown sauce in theUnited Kingdom.[1][2]
The brown sauce product, known as "Daddies Sauce", was launched in 1904, and the ketchup was launched in 1930. The brand is owned by theH. J. Heinz Company; it was bought as part of the acquisition ofHP Foods from previous ownerGroupe Danone in 2005. Production of Daddies was moved toPoland.
In 1899, Edwin Samson Moore, the owner of the Midland Vinegar Company in Aston Cross,Birmingham went to see one of his customers who owed him a debt for vinegar. The man was Frederick Gibson Garton, a Nottingham grocer who had a small sauce factory at the rear of his premises. The 2013 bookHP Sauce My Ancestors' Legacy tells the story of how Moore saw a sauce brewing in the back copper while visiting Garton. Garton explained it was his new sauce called Daddies Sauce. Moore cancelled the debt and paid Garton £150 (around £21328 in today's money) for the recipe of his sauces and chutneys which included Daddies Sauce andHP Sauce.
