About this deal
Homepride is a British food brand owned by Premier Foods for prepared cooking sauces. Premier Foods also licenses the brand to Kerry Group for the production of flour. A technological breakthrough in flour production in 1963 meant that bakers no longer needed to sift their flour. The new flour product was launched under Spillers' Homepride brand. In 1974, Homepride launched a range of prepared cooking sauces. [1] In October 1979, Spillers was acquired by Dalgety plc, after one hostile take over battle. [2]
Dalgety retained the brand rights for the production of prepared cooking sauces. After the brand was acquired by the Campbell Soup Company, Homepride sauces became one of the sponsors of the police procedural television series The Bill, when their slogan was "the one with the bag". In July 2006, the sauce brand was acquired by Premier Foods. [ citation needed] Homepride Fred [ edit ]This article relies excessively on references to primary sources.
