 PROFILE
Aurora Foods has a mouthful of big-name brands. The firm produces grocery store staples such as Mrs. Butterworth's, Log Cabin, and Country Kitchen (syrup, pancake mix); Aunt Jemima (frozen breakfast products only; licensed from The Quaker Oats Company); Duncan Hines (baking mixes); Lender's (bagels); Van de Kamp's and Mrs. Paul's (frozen seafood); Chef's Choice (frozen skillet meals); and Celeste (frozen pizza). It has grown by buying well-known brands and then expanding those brand lines by adding new products. Fenway Partners and McCown De Leeuw & Co. own about 52% of the troubled company. Amid accounting concerns related to promotional expenses paid to retailers, several of Aurora's top officers resigned in 2000.
