Information About

Hebrew National




In 1968 , the Pines family sold Hebrew National to Riviana Foods , which was taken over by Colgate-Palmolive in 1976 . In 1980 , Isidore ''"Skip"'' Pines - grandson of the founder - bought the company from Colgate-Palmolive. The health food movement of the 1980s encouraged the company to stick to a recipe that used no artificial colors or flavors, and to minimize other potential modernizations of the recipe. This strategy ultimately proved successful, and with a growing revenue, Hebrew National hoped to transform itself into a large conglomerate through acquiring other brands, in order to compete with the food giants that dominated the industry. To this end, in 1986 , it changed its name to National Foods and established its non-kosher ''National Deli'' brand.

This strategy was less successful, and National Foods was acquired by ConAgra Foods in 1993 . The National Deli brand was sold off in 2001 .
