Premier Foods is selling its vinegar and sour pickles business as it continues its strategy of concentrating on “power brands”.
It will sell Sarson’s and Dufrais vinegars and Haywards pickles for £41m to Japanese food producer Mizkan.
The products are predominately made in Middleton near Manchester and Premier said all staff will transfer to Mizkan.
Premier is concentrating on eight brands it thinks have the best prospects, including Hovis and Oxo. Others include Mr Kipling, Bachelors, Oxo and Sharwood’s.
