Procter & Gamble Food Products: A Historical Overview

Procter & Gamble （P&G） is a multinational consumer goods corporation, but its history with food products is a significant, though less prominent, part of its story. The company ventured into the food industry primarily through its acquisition of brands like Folgers coffee and Jif peanut butter.

In India, P&G\“s food product presence has been shaped by local tastes and market dynamics. While the global portfolio included well-known items, the adaptation for the Indian consumer was key. Questions often arise about the availability and history of these products in the Indian market.

Today, P&G\“s focus has largely shifted away from food, with the sale of these brands to other companies like The J.M. Smucker Company. This move allowed P&G to concentrate on its core segments like fabric care, home care, and personal healthcare.
