And its success has attracted the appetite of multinational food giants, including Heinz Canada, a unit of H.J. Heinz Co., which recently won a bidding war to buy Renée's after it was quietly put on the auction block. "It's business as usual," Joan Patterson, a spokeswoman for Heinz Canada, insisted yesterday in an interview. "It's a fabulous product. We don't want to mess with it." Unlike conventional "shelf-stable" dressings in grocery aisles, Renée's line is made with fresh ingredients and no preservatives or additives, and is also sold at premium prices in the produce section of grocery stores.... | |
