Planters Salted Whole Cashews

Planters is an iconic American snack brand founded in 1906 by Amedeo Obici and Mario Peruzzi in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. The brand is globally recognized for its mascot, Mr. Peanut, who was created in 1916. While the brand has deep American roots, it has seen several high-profile changes in ownership throughout its history, moving from Standard Brands to Nabisco, and later to Kraft Foods (which became Kraft Heinz).

In early 2021, the Planters brand was acquired by Hormel Foods Corporation as part of a strategic expansion of Hormel's snacking portfolio. This acquisition included the global rights to the brand, although local market distributions may vary. The specific product shown in the image features French labelling (Salées, Noix de Cajou Entières) and a 'Product of Canada' or similar Canadian emblem, indicating that for the Canadian market, the snacks are processed and packaged within Canada by Hormel's local operations to meet regional demand and regulatory standards.
