George Weston Foods is one of the largest[citation needed] consumer products companies in Australia. It is a wholly owned subsidiary of Associated British Foods Plc. Its brands include Tip Top and Top Taste.

In 2003, Weston's biscuits were put up for sale in order to consolidate the company's product lines.[1] The majority of Weston's sweet biscuit brands were acquired by Paradise Foods,[2] whilst three of the brands were acquired by Arnott's Biscuits Holdings.[3]

Along with Goodman Fielder, it is one of the two main commercial bread manufacturers in Australia.[citation needed]

In 2019 it was announced that the Top Taste Cakes division of the company would close its doors in March 2020.[citation needed]
