PROFILE |
 |
If McCain Foods chairman, Harrison McCain, had only seen the words "supersize it" on the horizon, he might have built his family's french-fry plants bigger. As the #1 french fry maker in the world, McCain Foods can process about one million pounds of french fries and other potato products per hour. In addition to its own brands, it owns the Ore-Ida food service business (H.J. Heinz still owns the retail brand). The company also produces frozen vegetables, juices, pizza, and entrees. The McCain family began producing french fries in 1957 and still owns the company. A power struggle in the mid-1990s split loyalties, and some of the clan went off to run Maple Leaf Foods, Canada's largest food processor.
