"The back promises that the crisps were grown and fried in Herefordshire.
"In the public’s mind there might be some confusion. Last August Tyrrells was sold to Investcorp, a Middle East-backed private equity firm domiciled in Bahrain.
"The latest in a long line of British food brands to head into the hands of overseas owners – following Cadbury’s sale to America’s Kraft Foods and Weetabix’s sale to China’s Bright Food – the £100m sale by London-based Langholm Capital should not have come as that much of a surprise.
