International Home Foods
International Home Foods was an American food company that produced and marketed a variety of packaged food products. The company was known for its diverse range of brands and products that catered to different consumer tastes and preferences.
History[edit | edit source]
International Home Foods was founded in 1996 when it was spun off from American Home Products. The company quickly grew through a series of acquisitions, including the purchase of Chef Boyardee, Gulden's, and Libby's canned meats. In 2000, International Home Foods was acquired by ConAgra Foods, which integrated its brands into its own portfolio.

- Libby's: Known for its canned meats and vegetables.

Acquisition by ConAgra Foods[edit | edit source]
In 2000, ConAgra Foods acquired International Home Foods for approximately $2.9 billion. This acquisition allowed ConAgra to expand its product offerings and strengthen its position in the packaged foods industry. The brands previously owned by International Home Foods were integrated into ConAgra's existing product lines.

The acquisition of International Home Foods by ConAgra Foods marked the end of the company as an independent entity. However, the brands that were once part of International Home Foods continue to be popular and are still available in the market under the ConAgra Foods umbrella.
