TORONTO, Jan. 6, 2020 /CNW/ - Orville Redenbacher, a brand of Conagra Brands,
Inc. (NYSE: CAG) is celebrating its 50th
anniversary as a fan favourite, perfect to enjoy on your own or
share with the entire family.
"Orville Redenbacher popcorn has
been a part of family traditions for generations and we are truly
grateful to have the opportunity to continue sharing the legacy and
being a part of the experience for millions of Canadians!"
said Ian Roberts, Vice President and General Manager at
Conagra Brands Canada. "As we celebrate this wonderful milestone
with Orville Redenbacher, we can't
help but reminisce about how the light and fluffy crowd pleaser has
evolved throughout the decades."
Set out to make the best quality popping corn the world has ever
seen, the legendary Orville Redenebacher perfected and shared his
love of agriculture creating his special kernel that we cherish and
crave. Inspired by his family traditions, Redenbacher perfected his
popping corn in 1965 and in 1984 he introduced the first
shelf-stable microwavable popcorn. While Redenbacher passed away in
1995, his legacy lives on through a dedication to selecting the
right farmers and the perfect land to grow his gourmet popping corn
that we continue to indulge in today. In 2005, Canada's first
popcorn with no trans-fat, Smart Pop! was introduced to
consumers.
Orville Redenbacher gourmet
popping corn is available in multiple offerings (microwavable
popcorn, ready-to-eat popcorn and kernels) and numerous flavours
and sizes to complement any lifestyle, taste or occasion.
