Description:
View of the Val Vita Food Products plant located in Fullerton. Norton Winfred Simon was a billionaire industrialist and philanthropist who, in 1927, invested $7,000 in a citrus juice plant which was insolvent and renamed it Val Vita Food Products Company. He soon added other fruit and vegetables to the product lines and purchased canning equipment. By 1941, Val Vita Food Products Company (later Hunt Wesson, and today part of ConAgra Foods, Inc.) had become the largest food processing company in the United States. June 1939.

Val Vita Food Products began producing citrus juice in 1932.?
