Bull's-Eye Barbecue Sauce is a popular barbecue sauce created and distributed by Kraft Foods in the United States and Canada,[1] though the subsidiary company RIDG's Finer Foods is used to shield it as an outright Kraft brand on the label, as the company also markets a barbecue sauce line under the Kraft brand. In Canada, it is also the official BBQ sauce of the Calgary Stampede.

History

Bulls-Eye was introduced in 1985 with the tag line The Big, Bold Taste of Bulls-Eye. In 2009, Bull's-Eye launched a marketing campaign entitled the Bull's-Eye Brotherhood with a comedic series of web videos featuring Canadian comedian Gerry Dee.[2]
