Profile
Sells and distributes a portfolio of Specialty, Meals, Frozen & Vegetables, and Spices & Flavor Solutions brands. The business is centered in North America and is being reshaped through recent divestitures and added broth and stock brands.
Built through acquisitions, the portfolio spans Specialty, Meals, Frozen & Vegetables, and Spices & Flavor Solutions. Core names include Crisco, Clabber Girl, Ortega, Cream of Wheat, Maple Grove Farms, Dash, Spice Islands, Tone's, and the recently added College Inn and Kitchen Basics.
Products move through supermarkets, mass merchants, warehouse clubs, wholesalers, foodservice distributors, specialty food channels, military commissaries, dollar stores, drug stores, and e-tailers, with sales concentrated in North America across the United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico.
Current execution centers on reshaping the brand base: Don Pepino, Sclafani, Le Sueur U.S., and Green Giant U.S. frozen have been sold, while broth and stock brands were added. Reported comparisons are shaped by recent divestitures, co-manufacturing commitments, labor agreements covering nearly half the workforce, and brand-valuation pressure.
