The Anglo-Dutch consumer group is speaking with advisers as it studies future options including a potential separation of most or all of the food business, the people said. A transaction would likely value the Unilever food business at tens of billions of dollars, the people said, asking not to be identified because the information is private. Unilever’s food assets could also attract interest from potential buyers, according to the people. Unilever’s food brands include Colman’s condiments, Knorr stock cubes, Maille dijon mustard and Namdong instant noodles, as well as the savoury Marmite spread that’s loved and hated in equal measure. The company still has around €1 billion (US$1.2 billion or RM4.52 billion) to €1.5 billion of local food brands to dispose of.
