TRS Chana Dal

TRS Chana Dal is a staple food product consisting of split chickpeas (baby chickpeas), widely used in South Asian cuisine for making dals, curries, and snacks. The product shown in the image is identified by the EAN-13 barcode 5017689000165, which corresponds to the 500g packaging of this essential Indian grocery item.

The TRS brand was founded in 1959 by Taherally Suterwalla in London, United Kingdom. Originally established to provide authentic South Asian ingredients to the growing Asian community in the UK, it grew from a small family business into one of the largest suppliers of ethnic foods in Europe. Historically managed by the Suterwalla family for over 60 years, the brand underwent a significant ownership change in late 2019.

In November 2019, TRS was acquired by the private equity firm Exponent Private Equity. Following this acquisition, TRS was integrated into a newly formed ethnic food platform called Vibrant Foods. This platform also includes other prominent brands like East End Foods and Cofresh, positioning it as a leading producer and distributor of South Asian food products across the UK and continental Europe.
