About Homepride
Homepride is a flour and cooking sauce brand whose bowler-hatted Fred character, introduced in 1965, became one of the most recognised advertising figures in Britain. Premier Foods holds the sauces; the flour is licensed separately. The split means shoppers can find two Homepride products on the same aisle sold by different companies.
