Baxters Soup

Baxters is a quintessentially British food brand with a heritage dating back over 150 years. Founded in 1868 by George Baxter in Fochabers, Scotland, the company began as a small grocery store before specializing in the high-quality jams and soups that made it famous worldwide. The brand is particularly well-known for its 'Royal Game' soup and its long-standing association with the British royal family, having held a Royal Warrant for many years.

Today, Baxters Food Group remains a family-owned enterprise, a rarity among major global food brands. While its heart remains in Scotland, the company has expanded its manufacturing footprint significantly. It operates major production facilities in Fochabers and Edinburgh (UK), but also maintains a substantial presence in North America through the acquisition of Truitt Bros and in Europe via manufacturing sites in Poland. This global network allows them to distribute a wide range of soups, preserves, and condiments to international markets while maintaining their reputation for traditional recipes.

Ownership of the brand is currently held by Baxters Food Group Limited, with the Baxter family continuing to lead the company. As of 2026, the company continues to operate as an independent entity, focusing on premium convenience foods and expanding its footprint in the fresh and plant-based sectors through strategic acquisitions like Orexis Fresh Foods.
