Post introduces Post Grape-Nuts cereal, one of the first ready-to-eat cold cereals. 1914 C.W. Post dies and ownership of the business passes to his daughter, Marjorie. The Postum Cereal Company continues to follow the formula for success which C.W. established: selling high-quality, nutritious cereal products through marketing and advertising techniques that appealed to the common man and woman.

  • The History of Kraft Foods Inc
    The History of Kraft Foods Inc. All About Kraft Learn everything there is to know about Kraft: like who we are, how you can reach us and what we’re doing in your community. Kraft Foods Inc. is a company with many different roots and founders, all sharing a commitment to quality, a willingness to take risks and a spirit of innovation. Among the products now sold by Kraft Foods Inc. are so many “firsts” and innovations that a history of the company is almost a history of the food industry. Kraft traces its history to three of the most successful food entrepreneurs of the late 19th and early 20th centuries — J.L. Kraft, who started his cheese business in 1903; C.W. Post, who founded Postum Cereal Company (later renamed General Foods Corporation) in 1895; and Oscar Mayer, who began his meat business in 1883. The Story of J.L. Kraft The history of KRAFT goes back to 1903, when, with $65 in capital, a rented wagon and a horse named Paddy, J.L. Kraft started purchasing cheese at Chicago’s Water Street wholesale market and reselling it to local merchants. Within a short time, four of J.L. Kraft’s brothers joined him in the business, and, in 1909, they incorporated as J.L. Kraft & Bros. Co. In 1914, J.L. Kraft and his brothers purchased their first cheese factory in Stockton, Illinois. In 1915, they began producing processed cheese in 3-1/2 and 7-3/4 ounce tins. J.L. Kraft’s method of producing processed cheese was so revolutionary, in 1916 he obtained a patent for it and in 1917 the company started supplying cheese in tins to the U.S.

    Show Transcript Deconstructing Dinner Kootenay Co-op Radio CJLY Nelson, B.C. Canada April 12, 2007 Title: Packaged Foods Exposed - Kraft Part III Producer/Host: Jon Steinman Transcript: Jennie Monuik Jon Steinman: And this is Deconstructing Dinner, a weekly one-hour radio show and podcast produced at Kootenay Co-op Radio CJLY in Nelson, British Columbia. I’m Jon Steinman. For those of you who are frequent listeners of the program, you are probably aware of the many series that air periodically each week on Deconstructing Dinner, and what has probably been the most popular of these series, is the Packaged Foods Exposed series, where we pick one of the largest food companies in the world and spend the entire show learning as much as one can hopefully learn in an hour. And this popularity is understandable given brand name foods are essentially an integral component of Canadian and North American culture, and it’s these foods that we as Canadians often take for granted. They fill the shelves of our grocery stores, they stare us down in magazines and newspapers, they hang out inside our televisions and speak to us on the airwaves. In April 2006 we aired part I of this series with a one-hour expose on PepsiCo, a few months later on part II, Swiss-based Nestle was put under the spotlight, and today, on part III, we will deconstruct the second largest packaged foods company in the world and the largest in North America, Illinois-based Kraft Foods, a company founded in the early 20 th century by Canadian-born J.L Kraft.

    World Nutrition Volume 5, Number 3, March 2014 World Nutrition Volume 5, Number 3, March 2014 Journal of the World Public Health Nutrition Association Published monthly at www.wphna.org Processing. Breakfast food Amazing tales of ready-to-eat breakfast cereals Melanie Warner Boulder, Colorado, US Emails: [email protected] Introduction There are products we all know or should know are bad for us, such as chips (crisps), sodas (soft drinks), hot dogs, cookies (biscuits), and a lot of fast food. Nobody has ever put these items on a healthy list, except perhaps industry people. Loaded up with sugar, salt and white flour, they offer about as much nutritional value as the packages they’re sold in. But that’s just the tip of the iceberg, the obvious stuff. The reach of the processed food industry goes a lot deeper than we think, extending to products designed to look as if they’re not really processed at all. Take, for instance, chains that sell what many people hope and believe are ‘fresh’ sandwiches. But since when does fresh food have a brew of preservatives like sodium benzoate and calcium disodium EDTA, meat fillers like soy protein, and manufactured flavourings like yeast extract and hydrolysed vegetable protein? Counting up the large number of ingredients in just one sandwich can make you cross-eyed. I first became aware of the enormity of the complex field known as food science back in 2006 when I attended an industry trade show. That year IFT, which is for the Institute of Food Technologists, and is one of the food industry’s biggest gatherings, was held in New Warner M.
