“We have terminated the licensing agreement so we can build the Gold Medal brand, which already is well-recognised with our consumers,” said Tess Panganiban, managing director of General Mills Philippines earlier this week.
General Mills sells Betty Crocker cake mixes, Old El Paso dinner kits and Haagen-Dazs ice cream in the Philippines alongside Gold Medal. The flour brand was the company’s first-ever branded product when it was launched in the US 140 years ago.
