Chun King was an American brand of canned Chinese food products founded in the 1940s by Jeno Paulucci, whose company also developed Jeno's Pizza Rolls and frozen pizza, and the Michelina's brand of frozen food products, among many others.

[1] By 1962, Chun King was bringing in $30 million in annual revenue and accounted for half of all U.S. sales of prepared Chinese food.

In 1989, Chun King was sold to Yeo Hiap Seng of Singapore to help pay for Kohlberg Kravis Roberts' leveraged buyout of RJR Nabisco.

After losing market share, Yeo Hiap Seng sold Chun King in 1995 to Hunt-Wesson, owner of rival La Choy.

[3][4] Hunt-Wesson's parent, ConAgra, eventually closed Chun King's manufacturing facilities in 1995 and discontinued the brand.
