Wow! I don't even know that by bookmark. If you can't come up with a clever search strategy to see if someone has already compiled that information, you could wade through EDGAR filings in hope of discoving what you are looking for. This is from the 10K Annual report filed 4th quater 2005 by Heinz regarding Hain: "SPECIAL ITEMS ASSET IMPAIRMENTS In the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2005, the Company recognized a non-cash asset impairment charge of $27.0 million pre-tax ($18.0 million after-tax) on the HAK vegetable product line in Northern Europe. The charge, which is recorded as a component of cost of products sold, relates to the anticipated sale of the product line in early Fiscal 2006. The Company holds an equity investment in The Hain Celestial Group, Inc. ("Hain"), a natural, specialty and snack food company. Hain shares traded at less than 80% of Heinz's carrying value since late January 2004. Due to the length of time and the amount that Hain stock had traded below the Company's basis, the Company determined that the decline was other-than-temporary as defined by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 18 and as a result, recognized a $64.5 million non-cash impairment charge during the third quarter of Fiscal 2005. The charge reduced Heinz's carrying value in Hain to fair market value as of January 26, 2005, with no resulting impact on cash flows. Heinz currently owns approximately six million shares of Hain stock, with a book value of approximately $20.00 per share as of April 27, 2005. In the future, should the market value of Hain common stock decline and remain below current market value for a substantial time, the Company could be required to record additional writedowns of its investment in Hain. The Company also recorded a $9.3 million non-cash charge in the third quarter of Fiscal 2005 to recognize the impairment of a cost-basis investment in a grocery industry-sponsored e-commerce business venture. There was no tax benefit associated with these impairment charges." http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/46640/000095015205005232/j1304601e10vk.txt I didn't read the entire annual report. That is just a sample. You could also look at the websites of the company/s in question to see if they list their board of directors. HTH Here is a link that might be useful: Heinz Search on EDGAR results

Thanks for the link Annie, I checked it out, and as of the date of that article, Seminis did sell to Territorial and Johnny's as well as Fedco. It could be that a couple of the brassicas I just bought from Fedco, as well as the Lollo Rosa lettuce from Burpee could have come from Seminis. I will have to call the companies and check. A short snippet from the article Annie posted: " Taking spinach into his own hands: Nash Huber doesnâÂÂt want to get stuck depending on a hybrid that might get dropped by a mega-company owner on a whim. He also doesnâÂÂt want to lose any of the vigor, disease resistance, etc. that hybrid has provided. So Nash is working on dehybridizing �" breeding an open-pollinated spinach that is well adapted to his needs. (pictured: Huber, left; Matthew Dillon, right) Posted February 22, 2005: The news of MonsantoâÂÂs agreement to purchase Seminis has received little attention from the media other than the financial pages and a few seed industry and anti-globalization web sites. But then again, why should it? How many consumers �" of food or seed �" have even heard of Seminis? And yet, as Seminis spinmeister Gary Koppenjan said, âÂÂIf you've had a salad, you've had a Seminis product." It is estimated that Seminis controls 40 percent of the U.S. vegetable seed market and 20 percent of the world market�"supplying the genetics for 55 percent of the lettuce on U.S. supermarket shelves, 75 percent of the tomatoes, and 85 percent of the peppers, with strong holdings in beans, cucumbers, squash, melons, broccoli, cabbage, spinach and peas. The companyâÂÂs biggest revenue source comes from tomato and peppers seeds, followed by cucumbers and beans. In large part, these numbers reflect usage of Seminis varieties within large industrial production geared towards supermarkets, but Seminis seeds are also widely used by regional conventional and organic farmers as well as market and home gardeners. JohnnyâÂÂs, Territorial, Fedco, NicholâÂÂs, Rupp, Osborne, Snow, and Stokes are among the dozens of commercial and garden seed catalogs that carry the more than 3,500 varieties that comprise Seminisâ offerings. This includes dozens of All-American Selections and an increasing number of varieties licensed to third parties for certified organic seed production. The brand-name companies under Seminis (such as Petoseed) have developed, released, produced and distributed varieties common to the market farmer and even home gardener. These include Big Beef, Sweet Baby Girl and Early Girl Tomatoes; Simpsons Elite and Red Sails Lettuces; Red Knight and King Arthur Peppers; Gold Rush and Blackjack Zucchinis; Stars & Stripes Melon; and Bush Delicata and Early Butternut squashes (see sidebar for other popular varieties)." So home gardeners DO have to check their seed, these are very popular varieties though the article is NOT saying that these...

Thanks! I agree about the low sodium still seems to be too high.

For my plastic containers with dark coloured lids, I use a "china marker". It looks like a pencil but is more like a thin crayon wrapped with paper strips. You don't sharpen it, you just peel the paper off like a ribbon to expose more of the tip. It stays well, and whatever doesn't wash off in the dishwasher can be rubbed off with your finger. I use a white/yellow one for the dark lids, and a black/blue/red one to write on the white or clear sides of the container. If I am using baggies I have been known to write the contents and date on pieces of masking tape, and stick that to the bags when they were filled. Just pull off the tape before heating/defrosting. I have also used an eye-liner pencil (in a colour that did not suit my eyes LOL) but they smudge easily.
