In 1999, Sara Lee Corp. adopted the 1994 Sara Lee brand logo. On July 4, 2012, after several spin-offs and divestments, Sara Lee Corp. was broken up into two food companies; D.E. Master Blenders 1753, a coffee and tea company (which eventually became Jacobs Douwe Egberts in 2015 after merging with the coffee division of Mondelēz International), & one involved with fresh meats and some dessert brands, which was renamed as Hillshire Brands until 2014, when it was acquired by Tyson Foods.
