Red Mill Snack Foods Limited was once one of the UK's leading manufacturers of savoury snacks.

The company's most successful brands included Transform-A-Snack, the 'Big Bag' snack range, Mr Porky's pork scratching, plus a range of 10p price marked children's snacks including Quarter Backs, Tangy Toms, Krunchie Sticks, Oinks, Onion Rings and Petrified Prawns.

Red Mill produced up to a half a billion snacks per year from manufacturing bases in Wednesbury, West Midlands and Westhoughton, Lancashire.

Previously owned by Continental Foods, Red Mill Snack foods was acquired by Tayto in March 2008. Tayto closed the Red Mill snack food plant in September 2010.

Although some of the brands still exist, the Red Mill brand has gone.
