S&W Kidney Beans

S&W Fine Foods was established in 1896 in San Francisco, California, by grocery wholesalers Samuel Sussman, Gustav Wormser, and Samuel Wormser. The brand earned a reputation for providing premium-quality preserved foods, particularly canned vegetables and fruits.

Today, the brand operates under a split ownership structure depending on the global region. In the United States and Canada, the S&W brand and its operations were acquired by Del Monte Foods (USA) in 2001. However, the international rights—covering Asia, Europe, and the Middle East—are owned by Del Monte Pacific Limited (DMPL), a separate entity headquartered in Singapore and the Philippines. For markets like Norway, the brand typically falls under the international portfolio managed by Del Monte Pacific or its subsidiaries. The kidney beans are generally produced in the USA, where the brand maintains its legacy of sourcing beans that meet strict quality and moisture standards.
