Ralcorp Company Description
Ralcorp Holdings reminds us that you can't judge food by its cover. The company is the top US maker of private-label or "store-brand" ready-to-eat and hot breakfast cereals. Ralcorp has stocked its pantry with a widening variety of private-label cookies, crackers, peanut butter, ketchup, snack nuts, and candy. The company also makes branded products: Ralston Hot Cereal, Ry Krisp crackers, 3 Minute Brand Oats oatmeal, and Rippin' Good cookies. Its Carriage House unit produces private-label dressings, syrups, jellies, and sauces, and its Lofthouse and Cascade Cookie businesses provide frozen cookies to in-store bakeries. In 2008 Ralcorp acquired the Post breakfast cereals business from Kraft Foods.
