Princes Red Salmon

Princes Red Salmon is a well-established brand of canned wild-caught salmon, primarily sourced from the waters of the North Pacific around Alaska and Canada. The product is known for its high quality, deep color, and rich flavor, serving as a staple in kitchens across the United Kingdom and Europe for decades.

The history of the brand dates back to 1880 when it was founded in Liverpool, England, as a fish importing business. Over the years, Princes expanded its portfolio into various pantry staples, including meats, fruits, and beverages. The red salmon specifically is processed and canned close to where it is harvested to maintain freshness before being distributed globally.

Ownership of the brand has transitioned through major international corporations. After being owned by the Mitsubishi Corporation for over three decades, the Princes Group was acquired by Newlat Food S.p.A., an Italian agrifood group, in 2024. This acquisition marks a significant shift in ownership to a European-based food giant, while the brand maintains its historical ties to its British origins.
