Guest guest Posted June 21, 2003 Report Share Posted June 21, 2003 As of yesterday, Hain Celestial is still its own publicly traded company, so it doesn't look like Heinz owns it. In fact, Hain Celestial issued a press release a few days ago saying they have acquired Acirca, the parent company to the Walnut Acres brand. > I didn't know a lot of this.

What I do know about Hain Celestial is that it didn't exist as such less than three years ago. Some guy with no natural foods background but an eye for trends started acquiring natural food companies left and right and finally ended up with both Hain and Celestial Seasonings (along with dozens of others). Seems as if their basic tactic hasn't changed.
