Manwich
Manwich is a brand of sloppy joe sauce, which is marketed by ConAgra Foods and Hunt's, a subsidiary of ConAgra Brands. The sauce is intended to be added to ground beef cooked in a skillet, making a quick and easy sloppy joe sandwich. The name "Manwich" is a portmanteau of "man" and "sandwich," suggesting a hearty meal.
History[edit | edit source]
Manwich was introduced in 1969 by Hunt's, a company known for its canned tomatoes and tomato sauce. The product was designed to simplify the preparation of sloppy joes, a popular American dish. The original slogan for Manwich was "A sandwich is a sandwich, but a Manwich is a meal."

The primary ingredients in Manwich sauce include tomato paste, high fructose corn syrup, distilled vinegar, corn syrup, salt, dehydrated onions, dehydrated bell peppers, spices, and garlic powder.
