McDonald's is moving to clear Heinz ketchup out of its system.

The restaurateur this week confirmed that it has started the process of moving to other vendors, following the appointment of former Burger King Worldwide CEO Bernardo Hees to run Pittsburgh-based H.J. Heinz Co. Mr. Hees also serves as vice chairman of the board of Miami-based Burger King.

"As a result of recent management changes at Heinz, we have decided to transition our business to other suppliers over time,"according to a statement from Oak Brook, Ill.-based McDonald's.

The decision appears to put an end to a years-long push by Heinz officials to regain ground with the restaurant giant that operates more than 34,000 locations around the globe, although most American customers buying Big Macs aren't getting Heinz ketchup with their fries anyway.
