Royal Baking Powder Company

The company was started by brothers Joseph Christoffel Hoagland and Cornelius Nevius Hoagland in 1866,^[1][2] It later came under the ownership of William Ziegler, and then his adopted son, William Ziegler Jr.^[3][4]

In 1929, the Royal Baking Powder Co., along with four other companies including the Fleischmann's Yeast Company, merged to form Standard Brands, the number-two brand of packaged foods in America after General Foods. Through a further merger, Standard Brands itself became part of Nabisco in 1981. In 2012, Nabisco became a subsidiary of Mondelez International.^[5]
