Is it true that Birds Eye and Edgells are the only Aussie frozen vegetables now ?
Edgells Is No Longer An Aussie Owned Company (At least it's not Chinese Owned) Hasn't been for a long time, unfortunately
NO pints both Edgells & Birdseye have not been Australian owned for many many years, It's actually now owned by an American potato family
John Richard Simplot was an American entrepreneur and businessman best known as the founder of the J. R. Simplot Company, a Boise, Idaho based agricultural supplier specializing in potato products. In 2007, he was estimated to be the 89th-richest person in the United States, at $3.6 billion.
J.R. ‘Jack’ Simplot began his colorful career in 1923, near the small farming community of Declo, Idaho, when he quit school to go into business on his own. He was only 14 years old.
Chiko, Edgell, Birdseye, Seakist, Lean Cuisine and John West, are all owned by the US J.R. Simplot Company
Jack Simplot was the man that put the french fry into McDonalds
