About Crisco
Crisco was introduced in 1911 as the first shortening made from plant-based oils and later became the first cooking oil promoted for its light taste. B&G Foods bought the brand from The J. M. Smucker Co. in 2020 and says Crisco is the number one brand of both vegetable shortening and vegetable oil in the United States, with leading positions in cooking sprays.
