Edgell Creamed Corn

Edgell is a household name in Australasia, widely recognized for its high-quality canned and frozen vegetables. The brand was founded in 1926 by Robert Gordon Edgell in Bathurst, New South Wales, where he established the first commercial asparagus farm in Australia. Over the decades, Edgell expanded its product range from asparagus to include its iconic corn, peas, and mixed vegetable products, becoming a staple in Australian and New Zealander pantries.

The creamed corn shown in the image is typically produced in Australia, specifically utilizing corn grown by Australian farmers. Since 1995, Edgell has been part of Simplot Australia, a subsidiary of the American J.R. Simplot Company. This ownership transition integrated Edgell into one of the largest privately held agribusinesses globally, while maintaining its strong local identity and manufacturing presence in Bathurst and Northwest Tasmania.
