The SEC's complaint does not allege any wrongdoing by Heinz or the company's new owners. The account was held at a subsidiary of Goldman Sachs in Zurich. Tiffany Galvin, a spokeswoman at Goldman, said the company is "cooperating with the SEC's investigation." Heinz has long been a subject of takeover speculation. 3G is best known for its acquisition of Burger King and its role in the deal that created Anheuser-Busch InBev, the world's biggest beer maker. 3G is owned by Jorge Lemann, one of Brazil's richest men. The acquisition is intended to help Heinz accelerate its expansion from a dominant American name into a presence on grocery shelves worldwide. In addition to ketchup, the Pittsburgh-based company also makes baked beans, pickles, vinegar, Classico pasta sauces and Ore-Ida potatoes, as well as a growing stable of sauces suited to regional tastes around the world.
