My roots go back to the 1890s, when some of my products were launched. I was incorporated in 1919 as Nebraska Consolidated Mills. Today, based in Chicago, I’m a giant in the food business, with brands including Banquet, Bertolli, Birds Eye, Chef Boyardee, Duncan Hines, Egg Beaters, Healthy Choice, Jiffy Pop, Marie Callender’s, Reddiwip, Slim Jim, Vlasic and Wish-Bone, as well as emerging brands such as Angie’s Boomchickapop, Frontera and Udi’s.
