Valeo Foods - the owner of leading Irish consumer brands Batchelors, Odlums, Jacob's biscuits, and Kelkin - has acquired the European business of Kettle Foods from the Campbell Soup Company for around £66m (€73m).

The deal, which still requires regulatory and employee approval, will cover Kettle's business across Europe and the Middle-East.
