Eagle Brand
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
Eagle Family Foods Incorporated, was an American producer of food and beverage products created in 1997 by employees of the Borden Milk Products division of Borden, Inc., which had sold its condensed milk line. The company's name was derived from the product created by Gail Borden in 1853. Eagle Family Foods Incorporated and its brands/products were acquired by The J.M. Smucker Company in May 2007.
