Murray Sugar Free Cookies, also known as the Murray Biscuit Company, is a commercial bakery in Augusta, Georgia, United States, that produces calorie-reduced biscuits. The company is part of the Ferrero Group, an Italian company best known for its Nutella hazelnut spread, and operates as a division of Ferrero U.S.A., Inc. It was founded by John L. Murray, a salesperson who accepted a cookie machine as payment for a $500 debt.[1]

In 1965, the company was sold to Beatrice Foods.[1]

On April 1, 2019, it was announced that Kellogg's was selling Murray's and its other cookie bakeries to Ferrero SpA for $1.4 billion.[2][3][4] On July 29, 2019, that sale was completed.[5] [6] [7] [8]
