Eagle Family Foods Group LLC, is an American food manufacturer based in Cleveland, Ohio. The company was established in 2015 by Paul Smucker Wagstaff after acquiring ownership to the Eagle Brand condensed milk created by Gail Borden in 1856.

Eagle Family Foods' product line include condensed and evaporated milk, popcorn, french fries, and sweet onion sticks.

History

Roots to Eagle Brand can be traced to 1856, when Gail Borden introduced Eagle Brand in 1856 to develop a refrigeration and food preservation system, with its condensed milk as the flagship of the company. Then Borden established his own company, Borden, Inc., one year later. In 1874, Eagle Brand became the first registered trademark in the then-British colony of Hong Kong. In Hong Kong, Eagle Brand products are currently produced by Nestlé.

The J.M. Smucker Company bought the canned milk business from Borden in 2007. Eagle Family Foods Group LLC was established after Paul Smucker Wagstaff left The J. M. Smucker Company in 2014 to carry on his own enterprise. He partnered with his friend Jeff Boyle to establish Kelso & Company. It acquired Eagle Brand from The J. M. Smucker Company, establishing Eagle Foods in December 2015.[1][2]

In August 2016, Eagle Foods acquired the popcorn brand, G.H. Cretors, derived from the Chicago-based manufacturing company Cretors, established in 1885.[1]
