  • DEL MONTE FOODS CO Profile

    How does Del Monte's garden grow? Very well indeed. It is one of the US's largest manufacturers of branded canned fruit, vegetables, and soups and broths. Its flagship products (canned corn, green beans, peas, peaches, pears, and pineapples) are purchased mostly from US growers. The company makes tomato-based foods such as ketchup and tomato sauce. Its retail brands include College Inn, Del Monte, and Contadina. Del Monte makes pets grow too, with a stable of pet-food and -treat brands, including 9Lives, Gravy Train, Milk-Bone, and Meow Mix. The company also makes private-label products and food ingredients for other food manufacturers, and offers products to foodservice operators.
