Shreddies are a breakfast cereal first produced in Canada in 1939 by Nabisco. The Shreddies brand is held by Post Consumer Brands in Canada and elsewhere,[1] and Nestlé in Ireland and the United Kingdom.In Canada, production began in 1939 at Lewis Avenue, Niagara Falls, Ontario.[2] Shreddies were produced under the Nabisco name until the brand in Canada was purchased in 1993 by Post Cereals,[3] whose parent company in 1995 became Kraft General Foods, which sold Post to Ralcorp in 2008 and is now Post Foods Canada Corp., a unit of Post Holdings, which was spun off from Ralcorp in 2012.[citation needed]In the United Kingdom, the cereal was first produced by Nabisco's former UK division but is now made by Cereal Partners under the Nestlé brand at Welwyn Garden City.[4] The factory opened in 1926 and began making Shreddies in 1953. The site was briefly owned by Rank Hovis McDougall in 1988, which sold it to Cereal Partners in 1990. Nestlé's site at Staverton started making Shreddies in 1998, and is where all production was moved in 2007.[citation needed] [Wikipedia]
