Old El Paso Taco Seasoning

Old El Paso is a household name famously known for its Mexican-style food products, ranging from taco kits and seasoning mixes to tortillas and salsas. The brand was originally established in 1917 by the Mountain Pass Canning Company in New Mexico, United States. Its evolution from a local regional brand to a global supermarket staple occurred after it was acquired by Pet, Inc., and subsequently passed through several major corporate hands.

Today, the brand is owned by the American multinational General Mills. In Australia, Old El Paso products are widely available and are commonly produced locally to serve the Oceanic market. The packaging indicates a manufacturing presence in Australia, ensuring that the spices and blends meet local taste profiles and distribution needs while maintaining the global quality standards set by the parent company.
