Nabisco Starts Food Ingredients Group

Nabisco Inc. (Parsippany, NJ) today announced that it has launched a new food ingredients group, Nabisco Ingredients. Nabisco Ingredients will sell to manufacturers in the cereal, baking, food processing, confection, dairy, and nutraceutical industries.

The business results from Nabisco's recent acquisition of Chicago-based Favorite Brands International, which makes sweet inclusions such as marshmallow products, caramels, and gummi candies. Nabisco's pre-existing branded and non-branded products will be added to Favorite Brands business to expand the ingredient offerings with more sweet and savory products.

The business will be based in Parsippany, NJ.

"The launch of Nabisco Ingredients leads into expanded opportunities… we'll be positioned as a stronger force in the ingredients marketplace," said Jim Jeffries, vice president of ingredient sales for Nabisco, in today's announcement.
