About Ortega

Ortega has existed since 1897 and covers most of the shelf-stable Mexican food aisle in American supermarkets, including taco shells, tortillas, seasonings, dinner kits, taco sauces, peppers, refried beans and salsas. It is one of the anchor brands of the Meals segment of B&G Foods, alongside Las Palmas and Victoria, and competes for the same taco-night shopper as much larger food groups.
