At the end of the 1960s, Vestey disposed of the Anglo factory to the Uruguayan government [19] [note 1] and, in 1968, sold Liebig to Brooke Bond to form the merged manufacturing business of Brooke Bond Liebig. [23] [24] The Anglo plant in Fray Bentos 1968–2013 [ edit ] Mediocre at best. Very small, lots of not so good pastry and very little filling. A complete disappointment and not something I'd buy again. Campbell's Soup Company manufactures and sells steak and kidney pies in Australia under the Fray Bentos brand name. [6] [7] [8] History [ edit ] Liebig: 1873–1924 [ edit ] Advertisement for Liebig's Extract of Meat Company, c. 1900 Fray Bentos was trademarked by Liebig in 1881 for the purpose of marketing glue and "extract of meat", although, in practice, it was used principally for marketing corned beef. [10] In fact, Fray Bentos became synonymous with corned beef. [10]

Wonderfully comforting, and always satisfying, this pie contains tender chunks of steak and kidney, smothered in a rich beef gravy and topped with Fray Bentos' signature suet pastry. In 1865, Liebig's Extract of Meat Company was founded in Britain by German chemist Justus von Liebig. The company established a factory in Uruguay to manufacture a beef extract product that would later be sold under the name Oxo. [9] In 1873, the factory began manufacturing tinned corned beef, which was sold in Britain under the name Fray Bentos, the town in Uruguay where the factory was located.

I thought I would give the Fray Bentos microwaveable Steak and Kidney Pudding a try. The suet pastry turned out well and the filling was moist and tasty only for me I preferred a bit more gravy. In 1964, the use of the brand for corned beef was significantly damaged when an outbreak of typhoid in Aberdeen, in which three people died, was traced to a tin of Fray Bentos corned beef imported from South America. [10] [17] The corned beef had been contaminated as a result of the cooling process during manufacture, in which the untreated water used had come, according to BBC News, "from a river into which an estimated 66 tonnes of human excrement and 250,000 gallons of urine entered every day". [18] Fray Bentos Microwavable Steak & Kidney Pudding is great if you are in a hurry just Pop it in the micro 1.5 mins Job done.I don't know why John Steams his for 30 mins? Anyway the meat inside is very lean and tender and the crust is just as it should be.
