Princes Processed Peas

Princes Processed Peas are a staple canned food product, commonly used as a side dish in British cuisine. The label detail reveals the product is part of the extensive canned goods range managed by Princes Limited. These peas are specifically 'processed' or marrowfat peas that have been dried and then rehydrated and canned with water, salt, and sugar to maintain their classic texture and flavor.

Founded in Liverpool, England, in 1880, the Princes brand has evolved from a small fish importer into a major global food and drink group. While the brand has British origins, its ownership has transitioned through major international corporations over the decades. As of early 2025, the brand moved from its long-term Japanese parentage to become a significant asset under Italian ownership.

Newrange Acquisitions, an entity representing the interests of Newlat Food S.p.A., completed the acquisition of Princes Limited from Mitsubishi Corporation. This move places the brand under a large Italian food group headquartered in Reggio Emilia, focusing on diversifying its international portfolio within the European food sector. The products continue to be widely manufactured and distributed within the United Kingdom to meet local demand.
