Cargill's business adds greater depth to Ventura Foods' already strong capabilities in the custom dressings, sauces and mayonnaise categories.
Ventura Foods, a Brea, Calif.-based producer of custom and proprietary dressings, sauces, mayonnaises, oils and other flavorings, acquired the dressings, sauces and mayonnaise (DSM) business of Cargill, Wichita, Kan.
"The acquisition of Cargill's DSM business is a strong fit for Ventura Foods' strategy to grow, strengthen and diversify," says Chris Furman, Ventura Foods president and CEO. "It further strengthens our innovation platform and leadership in consumer taste and preference trends."
