History
editAsian Home Gourmet was established in Singapore in 1982 by Kwan Lui. Although the business was acquired by Cerebos Pacific Limited in 1996, Lui retained 50% ownership and retained rights to the brand.[3] The company initially sold in local Singaporean markets before commercialising and moving its factories to Thailand.[4]

In 2012 Cerebos was taken private by Suntory Holdings of Japan.[8]
In 2017 Suntory Holdings announced the sale of Asian Home Gourmet along with most of Cerebos Pacific's Australian and New Zealand food assets to Kraft Heinz.[9]
