Daiya Foods was founded in Vancouver, Canada in 2008 out of a love for good food and a commitment to healthy living. Today, as an industry leader and one of the founding members of The Plant Based Foods Association US and the Plant-Based Foods of Canada Association, Daiya remains passionate about celebrating delicious food that is free of dairy, gluten, soy and nuts. The company`s growing line of premium, plant-based foods, began with cheese formats including blocks, shreds, slices, sticks, cream cheeze style spreads and cheeze sauces. The product portfolio has expanded with great success into pizza, burritos, and non-dairy frozen dessert. Daiya products are available in the traditional dairy case and freezer aisle and includes shelf-stable products like Cheezy Mac and dairy-free salad dressings. Deliciously plant-based foods from Daiya are broadly available in more than 25,000 grocery stores in the U.S. and Canada, as well as through e-commerce partnerships. Daiya`s products can also be found internationally in Asia, Europe, and Latin America.
Allied Blending & Ingredients, Inc. (ABI) has a rich and lengthy tradition in the food ingredients industry. From a small and simple food-ingredients distributor, the company has evolved into a multi-dimensional manufacturing enterprise that deals in proprietary, value-added food blends and a diverse range of functional products that specialty food manufacturers have depended on for over 30 years. Allied Starch & Chemical was formed as the parent holding company in 1995 and, in May 2005, the company acquired Ingredients Unlimited, Inc. in the Bell Gardens district of Los Angeles, which today is a southern California production and service center. That same year, in November, Allied Starch & Chemical purchased Del Rancho LP in Sachse, Texas. Similar to the Ingredients Unlimited purchase, Allied Starch & Chemical retained the Del Rancho presence in the Dallas area as the production and service center for the Southwest. In 2006, to better identify the parent company and its association with both long-standing and recently acquired product brands, Allied Starch & Chemical underwent a name change to Allied Blending & Ingredients, Inc. the name our customers look to for superior and consistent quality products.
Strong Roots is a company that provides a range of vegan, plant-based frozen food products that are convenient and healthy for home cooking.
Jackson`s is a leading manufacturer of Sweet Potato Kettle Chips cooked in premium, great tasting oils based in Muskego, Wisconsin. Our founders created the product after their son, Jackson, was diagnosed with a rare autoimmune disorder. Their top priority was to find ways to ease his symptoms. After much trial and error, they discovered that a high-fat, low-carb diet (with an emphasis on coconut oil and other ancestral fats) greatly improved both his health and quality of life. The whole family adopted this way of eating, but sure missed snack foods. So they set out to make their own! They began cooking thinly-sliced sweet potatoes low and slow in coconut oil on the stovetop. The results were delicious! The chips were too good not to share, so they started Jackson`s! His legacy lives on through this company and the snacks he inspired.
