About Grace
Grace is GraceKennedy's main food brand, which its British business dates to the company's founding in 1922, and it covers a wide Caribbean range: hot sauces, coconut milk, Tropical Rhythms fruit drinks, canned fish, vienna sausages, packet soups and seasonings. The trademarks sit with Grace Foods Limited, a wholly owned St Lucia subsidiary the group lists as its brand owner. In late 2025 Hurricane Melissa shut the Westmoreland plant that makes several key Grace meat products until December.
