Edgell Corn Kernels

Edgell is a cornerstone of the Australian food industry, known for its extensive range of canned and frozen vegetables. The brand was founded in 1926 by Robert Gordon Edgell in Bathurst, New South Wales, where he planted his first crop of asparagus. This heritage is celebrated on current packaging, which often features an 'Australian Grown' seal, reflecting the brand's long-standing commitment to sourcing from local farmers.

Over the decades, Edgell expanded from a small family operation into a nationwide staple. After passing through several ownership changes, including a period under Petersville Sleigh and later Pacific Dunlop, the brand was eventually acquired by the American food conglomerate Simplot in 1995.

Today, under the stewardship of Simplot Australia, Edgell products continue to be predominantly sourced and processed within Australia. The corn kernels found in these cans are typically harvested from Australian fields, specifically in regions like Bathurst and Cowra, ensuring that the brand maintains its legacy of supporting Australian agriculture while being part of a global food processing network.
