RCL Foods, whose brands include Selati sugar, Sunbake bread and Yum Yum peanut butter, says it is restructuring its portfolio to deliver sustainable earnings.
Completion of unbundling, share distribution

"Stepping out as a stand-alone entity marks a significant milestone for Rainbow, carving out a unique and competitive position in the market," CEO Marthinus Stander said in a statement.

The company is a fully integrated chicken meat producer, operating 165 farms and several processing plants as well as feed mills.
