Hunt-Wesson is one of the largest and most successful food companies. It markets and manufactures a wide range of brand name grocery and foodservice products through its independent operating companies: La Choy / Rosarita Foods Co., Orville Redenbacher / Swiss Miss Foods Co., Hunt Foods Co., and Wesson / Peter Pan Foods Co. Hunt-Wesson operates over 20 manufacturing plants, 14 distribution and customer service centers, and 45 grocery retail and foodservice sales offices in 24 states and Canada. Hunt-Wesson itself is an independent operating company and wholly owned subsidiary of ConAgra, Inc., a $24 billion diversified international food company. When Hunt Wesson introduced their Big John products in French Canada as Gros Jos, they forgot to note one thing; Gros Jos is the slang for big breasts. However the company was fortunate, because the sales didnt hurt significantly for a number of men who wanted to order the Gros Jos!
