Antikbar, 11x24 Benergy
was a food product manufactured by the same company that made the well-known Benger's Food. While Benger's Food was primarily known as an easily digestible food for infants and invalids, Benergy was a related product marketed specifically as a flavouring for stews and gravies.
Key Details about the Product
Manufacturer: Benger's Food Ltd., a company founded by chemists Frederick Baden Benger and Standen Paine in the 1870s.
Purpose: The advertising poster indicates its use was for adding flavour to stews and gravies.
Wartime Use: During World War II rationing, Benger's Food (which was a powder) was often treated as a type of dried milk powder or food sauce by civilians and troops. The Benergy product may have been a wartime adaptation or branding to encourage this particular usage.
Modern "Benergy": A contemporary company also uses the "Benergy" name for a range of modern healthy breakfast oats and snacks, but this is a separate business with no connection to the historical Benger's brand. |
