PROFILE |
 |
With things going sour for Vlasic Foods International, it's time to throw out the pickles. Vlasic Foods makes frozen dinners (Swanson, Hungry-Man), condiments (Vlasic and Milwaukee's), and barbecue sauce (Open Pit) sold in the US. In the UK, Vlasic Foods makes SonA and Freshbake foods (both of which it is selling). Heavily in debt following its 1998 spin off from Campbell Soup Company, Vlasic Foods has sold less profitable lines. It has also agreed to sell its Vlasic, Swanson, and Open Pit brands to LBO firm Hicks, Muse, Tate & Furst. Vlasic Foods is seeking Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection and exploring options for its remaining businesses. Members of Campbell's founding Dorrance family own 37% of Vlasic Foods.
