Jacob's is a historic British brand famous for its savory biscuits and crackers. The product shown, Jacob's Bites, is part of their contemporary snacking range, specifically marketed as oven-baked savory biscuits with bold flavor profiles like Mature Cheddar and Caramelised Onion.

Originally founded in Waterford, Ireland, in 1851 by William and Robert Jacob, the brand quickly established a major presence in both Ireland and the United Kingdom. Over the decades, the brand has undergone several ownership changes. Today, the brand's operations are largely divided by region; in the United Kingdom, where these 'Bites' are primarily marketed and produced, the brand is owned by Pladis, a global snacking company. Manufacturing for the UK market is predominantly centered at large-scale facilities within Great Britain, such as their historic Aintree factory.

Pladis itself was formed in 2016 and is a subsidiary of the Turkish industrial giant Yıldız Holding. This ownership structure places the ultimate control of the brand in Turkey, though the product maintains its deep-rooted identity as a British household staple.
