Everything Conagra Brands owns
Controlling ownership as of . Brands grouped under the entity that owns them; large groups are collapsed.
Conagra acquired Pinnacle Foods in a cash and stock deal, adding Birds Eye, Duncan Hines and Vlasic. Conagra sold its Wesson oil brand to satisfy competition concerns, and Pinnacle had been an acquisition target for several years before the deal closed.
Conagra separated its frozen potato business as Lamb Weston, distributing shares to Conagra shareholders. The two businesses had little in common: one supplied restaurants with commodity potato products, the other sold branded food in supermarkets, and each was valued differently by investors.
