Franco-American (brand)

Franco-American is a brand name of the Campbell Soup Company.

Founded by Alphonse Biardot as Franco-American Food Company, it sells gravy and condensed soups; it was formerly used for SpaghettiOs and other pasta products until 2004 when it was replaced with the main Campbell's brand.

The company proved a success, particularly with its line of canned soup and pasta, and it was acquired by Campbell's in 1915.

However their product line was still sufficient to continue advertising well into the 1970s, with Barry Manilow performing their jingle "Who Can?

On November 18, 2004, Campbell's announced it was discontinuing the name for pasta products in favor of its own "to boost sales of what had been Franco-American's canned SpaghettiOs, RavioliOs, Macaroni and Cheese, and regular spaghetti, along with beef, chicken and turkey gravy varieties sold in cans and jars".
