Marie Callender: Just like your grandma, but thankfully, not mine
Sunday, August 2, 2009 at 12:11 Maybe your grandma cooked just like Marie Callender, but not mine. My grandmas - Ruth Valborg Isakson from Sweden and Della Foreman from Nebraska - weren’t ConAgra Foods, Inc.
“ConAgra Foods fills Americans’ refrigerators, freezers, and pantries and, ultimately, their tummies. The company is a US top food producer, offering packaged and frozen foods. ConAgra’s brands are a cornucopia of America’s well-known foods, including Banquet, Chef Boyardee, Egg Beaters, Healthy Choice, Hunt’s, Jiffy, Orville Redenbacher’s, PAM, Marie Callender, Slim Jim, and Van Camp’s. It is also one of the country’s largest foodservice suppliers, offering them convenience foods and ingredients. The company has sold off its agricultural segments and a number of non-core brands in order to concentrate on branded and value-added packaged foods.” from Hoovers investment information.
It’s hard to find a lot of information on ConAgra Foods, Inc. that wasn’t written by their corporate communications department or investment houses. I did find, on one financial site, that they’re the ninth ‘most admired’ food company. Isn’t that happy?
