About CP
CP is the name under which CP Foods sells most of its processed and ready-to-eat food, in Thailand and for export. The company started using it on basic processed meat in 2005 and entered ready-to-eat food under it, but it does not own the name: the trademark belongs to Charoen Pokphand Group, and CP Foods and its subsidiaries pay trademark licence fees for the right to use it.
