time and currently owned by Premier Foods. In the USA during the 1980s, two new flavours of A.1. were introduced, representing the first expansion of the trademark in North America. These varieties were soon discontinued. In 2000, an A.1. line of marinades was launched. Rock musician and singer Meat Loaf appeared in a TV commercial for the product, to promote its new slogan: "A.1.—Makes beef sing". In the commercial, the slogan is "Makes Meat Loaf sing", and he sings a very short excerpt from his hit song "I'd Do Anything for Love (But I Won't Do That)". Ingredients A.1. Sauce in the US includes tomato purée, raisin paste, spirit vinegar, corn syrup, salt, crushed orange purée, dried garlic and onions, spice, celery seed, caramel color, potassium sorbate, and xanthan gum. The 'Original' A1 recipe exported to the USA dramatically differs from the versions sold in the UK and in Canada. A.1. Sauce in Canada includes tomato purée, marmalade, raisins, onions, garlic, malt vinegar, sugar, salt, tragacanth, spices and flavourings. Legal action A.1. in the United States was the subject of a trademark dispute between then-owners RJR Nabisco and Arnie Kaye of Westport, Connecticut, whose International Deli was producing and selling its own recipe condiment under the name "A.2. Sauce". In 1991, the United States District Court for Connecticut found in favour of Nabisco. Advertising Some slogans for A.1. include: "The DASH that Makes The DISH" (1940s) "Don't cover it. Discover it, with A.1." (1980s) "Great Steak! Great fun! A.1.!" (1981) "A.1. makes hamburgers taste like steakburgers." (early 1980s) "A.1.—How Steak is Done." (1990s) "A.1.—Yeah, it's that important." (early-mid-2000s) "A.1.—Makes Meat Loaf sing." (2009) "A.1.—For Almost Everything. Almost." (2014) "A.1.—Makes beef sing."
