Old El Paso products are marketed across the globe. The brand is owned by General Mills. Pillsbury acquired it in 1995, when its then-parent company Grand Metropolitan bought Pet, Inc., which had itself taken over the brand in 1968 from the Mountain Pass Canning Company.
The name is a reference to the city of El Paso, Texas, and the historical "Old" period when Texas was a part of Mexico.
