RETAILING

Nestle to Buy Ortega Foods From Nabisco: Glendale-based Nestle USA Inc. did not disclose the purchase price. Ortega products include salsas, chili peppers, taco shells, taco sauces and seasonings, dinner kits and refried beans sold to grocery stores and food service outlets. Ortega will be integrated into the culinary division of Nestle Food Co., joining brands such as Contadina dalla Casa Buitoni Tomato Products & Sauces, Nestle Toll House Morsels, Carnation Evaporated Milk, Libby’s Pumpkin & Canned Meats. Nabisco Inc. said Ortega has strong growth potential, but did not fit the company’s long-term strategic plans.
