About Fortun Foods
In 1981, Kevin G. Fortun developed a line of premium fresh-refrigerated soups, Stockpot Soups, which provided convenience and consistency to food service operators. Stockpot Soups, made with fresh, all natural ingredients and no preservatives, quickly became the leader in the field. After expanding into the retail market, Stockpot Soups grew into the largest fresh-refrigerated soup company in the world, with distribution in 23 countries. In 1998, Fortun sold Stockpot Soups to the Campbell Soup Company. For the development and launch of Fortun’s Finishing Touch Sauces, Fortun has brought several key personnel from every department of his Stockpot Soups team back on board to create authentic gourmet sauces designed for quality, consistency and convenience for the customer.
