Conagra Brands is one of North America’s leading branded food companies with a range of recognisable labels such as Birds Eye, Marie Callender’s, Banquet, Healthy Choice, Slim Jim, Reddi-wip, and Vlasic, as well as emerging brands including Angie’s Boomchickapop, Duke’s, Earth Balance, Gardein and Frontera.
The company, which used to be ConAgra Foods, can trace its roots back to 1919 but it’s in recent years that the business has begun to assume its current form: in 2015, it announced the spinoff of its potato processing business Lamb Weston, as well as the restyling of its corporate name and a relocation of its headquarters from Omaha, Nebraska to Chicago, Illinois. Then, in 2018, it acquired Pinnacle Foods for $8.1 billion plus debt.
