The combination of Aunt Bessie’s, Birds Eye and the recently acquired Goodfella’s is expected to result in a highly complementary portfolio.
Nomad Foods Ltd., UK, entered into an agreement to acquire Aunt Bessie’s Ltd. from William Jackson & Son Ltd., UK.
Aunt Bessie’s is a UK-based frozen food manufacturer of products ranging from frozen Yorkshire pudding to frozen potatoes. The acquisition, which includes a production facility in Hull, England, will expand Nomad Foods’ portfolio into the frozen meals category.
