Last week, Heinz riled Italians after debuting a canned version of the white-sauce dish – which traditonally features egg yolk, parmigiana reggiano cheese, and Guanciale, a type of cured meat. The food giant says the controversial launch followed research that found younger consumers want food to be fast and convenient, with no cooking skills required.
