Vegemite was invented in 1923 by food technologist Dr. Cyril P. Callister when his employer, the Australian company Fred Walker & Co, tasked him with developing a spread from brewer's yeast, following the disruption of Marmite imports after World War I. Vegemite was registered as a trade mark in Australia that same year. The registration was later transferred to Kraft Foods, a U.S. multinational, which has maintained an interest in Vegemite since the 1920s. In 1919, New Zealand company Sanitarium had started manufacturing a version of Vegemite's biggest competitor, Marmite, and was shipping it to Australia.
