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).

Branston owner Premier Foods confirmed today it was looking at potential deals amid speculation it could swoop for the McVitie’s and Jaffa Cakes brands.

A WOMAN who says she found a human tooth in a can of Campbell's soup is suing the US company.
