Jimmy Dean Foods is a food company that was founded in 1969 by country singer and actor Jimmy Dean. It was purchased by Consolidated Foods, (later renamed Sara Lee Corporation).Dean founded the Jimmy Dean Sausage brand of breakfast sausage was originally called "Pure Pork Sausage." Despite ups and downs (some revolving around his problems with his partner-brother Don Dean), the Jimmy Dean Sausage company did well, in part due to Dean's own extemporized, good-humored commercials.Dean remained involved in running the company after the takeover, though they eventually began phasing him out of any management duties, a traumatic period that took a toll on his health. By 2004, he was no longer acting as spokesman, and enjoyed his retirement living with second wife Donna Meade Dean, whom he married in 1991. Jimmy Dean died June 13th, 2010.In 2007, the company received brief national attention after a caller's complaint was posted on the Internet, angry about having a 16-ounce sausage roll reduced to 12 ounces.
