Sara Lee Corp.'s sauces and dressings business, which makes salad dressing and other products for restaurant and foodservice operations, was acquired by closely held Richelieu Foods Inc., Massachusetts-based Richelieu said Tuesday.

Terms of the acquisition, which calls for private-label food products maker Richelieu to take ownership of the Sara Lee sauces and dressings manufacturing facility
in Elk Grove Village, weren't disclosed.

The sale calls for Richelieu to become a manufacturer for the Sara Lee Foodservice DSD Coffee network, and the network will continue to supply its customers with sauce and dressing products, Richelieu said.
