PROFILE |
 |
Have a cookie, dear, for Specialty Foods' batch is dwindling. A leading US cookie maker, the company sells the Bakery Wagon, Mrs. Wheatley, and Marie Lu brands. It has sold its Mother's Cake & Cookie and Archway Cookies businesses to Italy's Parmalat, the world's top dairy company. Specialty Foods also owns Andre-Boudin Bakeries (about 45 bakery cafes in California and Illinois). Despite reorganization efforts, including the divestiture of its non-baking businesses (Stella Foods, H&M Food Systems) and its Metz wholesale baking unit, Specialty Foods filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in September 2000. Investors headed by Texas billionaire Robert Bass and J. Taylor Crandall own about 55% of Specialty Foods.
