According to foodproductiondaily.com , Heinz apologized to Korell, saying the company's ownership of the website expired after the contest ended in 2014.
He was also offered a free custom-designed bottle.
"Even if the bottle was a leftover, it's still in lots of households," Korell said in a comment to UPI.
