Uncle Tobys
Uncle Tobys is an Australian brand of breakfast cereals and other breakfast food products. The brand has a lot of history and is mentioned in an 1892 newspaper.[1] Their main manufacturing base is located in the small town of Wahgunyah, on the NSW / Victorian Border.
Uncle Tobys was formerly part of the Goodman Fielder food company, but was split off in December 2005 by parent company Burns Philp. In 2006 Uncle Tobys brands and manufacturing facility were purchased by Cereal Partners Worldwide (CPW),[2] a joint venture between Nestlé S.A. and General Mills. CPW's existing brands that were sold in Australia (such as Cheerios and Milo) were merged into the Uncle Tobys brand, and are now sold under that name. Uncle Tobys is labeled as being a subsidiary of Nestlé[3] in Australia.
