The Royal Baking Powder Company was one of the largest producers of baking powder in the US.

History[]

It 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. As of 2017, Nabisco is a subsidiary of Mondelez International; Royal Baking Powder is still marketed today, currently by Hulman & Company.
