I just had an intolerance test (www.epilight.co.uk/alcat.htm) and it threw up haricot and string beans, but I can't find ANY information on what variety Heinz uses! I need to know in case I die!! (ok, slight over reaction). Thank you!

Most commercial tinned baked beans such as Heinz are made from navy beans, a variety of Phaseolus vulgaris, and sold in tomato sauce. Tinned baked beans are often mistakenly thought of as haricot beans (for example, [1]), but Heinz describes their product as "Canadian navy beans" [2], which are very similar to haricots but slightly larger.

Heinz baked beans uses white beans for its product.
A little history......
The small, white navy bean, also called pea bean or haricot, is popular in France, and traditionally the main bean of Anglo-America, used in such dishes as Boston baked beans.
Navy bean varieties include:
Robust
Rainy River
Michelite
Sanilac
Other white beans are Cannellini and Great Northern.
Hope this helps!

I think most baked bean recipes use Great Northern beans or navy beans aka haricot beans.

You can substitute almost any kind of bean for kidney beans--but if she cannot eat beans at all, go to your health food store or natural foods store and look for a product called TVP--Textured vegetable protein. It's like granola--but you add water and soak it until it's soft and you can use it for almost any meat substitution. Or the Morning Star Farms company makes a product called "crumbles" (found in the freezer) which can also be used the same way.

"Canadian navy beans", which are very similar to haricots beans, but slightly larger.
Haricot beans are available from Tesco & Morrisons...
