Bengaluru, 10th February 2026: Reliance Consumer Products Limited (RCPL), the
FMCG arm of Reliance Industries Limited, has acquired leading health foods maker from
Tamil Nadu – Southern Health Foods Private Limited. The company, represented by its
flagship brand Manna, is a leading manufacturer of wide-ranging healthy foods for well
over two decades.
The addition of Manna adds further strength to RCPL’s foods and staples portfolio that
includes brands like Udhaiyam, Independence and SiL, through building a strong business
vertical in the growing millet-based foods segment. The acquisition reaffirms RCPL’s
commitment towards the company’s core philosophy of offering the ’global quality at
affordable price’ to the millions of consumers across the country, while working towards a
significant presence in the area of health foods.
T. Krishnakumar, Director, Reliance Consumer Products Limited, said, “Manna is one
of the most trusted names in the health focused foods market in Tamil Nadu with noticeable
presence in the adjoining states. It is known for healthy offerings like millet-based staples and
mixes, drinks and baby food. Apart from adding muscle to RCPL’s packaged foods portfolio,
Manna’s addition will help us serve consumers the best nutritious foods.
With our strong distribution, R&D and supply chain capabilities, Manna would be made
available in other geographies – eventually making it a household name across the country.”

categories like packaged healthy foods including millets, oats, multi-grain products, health
mixes, breakfast cereals, dry fruits, among others. Its flagship brand Manna is widely known
