B&G Foods Enters Strategic Alliance with Jarden Consumer Solutions
04/16/2012 – Parsippany, N.J. – B&G Foods and Jarden Consumer Solutions (JCS) announce the introduction of Crock-Pot Seasoning Mixes. The mixes combine spices and herbs, and will be marketed to consumers as help in preparing classic family dishes with ease.

Wenner, President and Chief Executive Officer, B&G Foods. "This line is a unique opportunity for B&G Foods; it enables us to leverage the brand power and reputation of Crock-Pot(R), the Original Slow Cooker, and provide high quality, affordable food products that answer real consumer needs."
B&G Foods will launch the seasoning mix line in single-serving packets. The companies expect the initial three flavors, which will be in
stores by September, 2012, to be:
- Hearty Beef Stew
- Savory Pot Roast
- BBQ Pulled Pork
Each will be available in single-serving packets that season two to three pounds of meat in a Crock-Pot(R) slow cooker, producing meals to feed four to six people. The company plans to expand the line with additional flavors later this year.
