In 1933, brothers Jack and Bill Hume set up a modest dehydration processing plant in Vacaville, California, using a technology that was later applied to potatoes. This was the beginning of Basic American Foods. In the mid 1950s, Basic American Foods established a potato processing plant in Blackfoot, Idaho, where the first instant potato product that could be rehydrated with boiling water was developed. This led to a series of innovative potato products for the foodservice industry that includes the brands Potato Pearls®, Golden Grill®, Classic Casserole® and Savory Series™. As the company grew, additional plants were built in Idaho and Washington. In response to a customer need for laborsaving quick-prep beans, Basic American Foods introduced Santiago® Refried Beans in 1986. The technology that created this authentic-tasting bean product is now being applied to Santiago® Black Beans and Santiago® Quick-Start® Chili. Today, Basic American Foods is led by Jack`s sons, George and Jerry. With nearly 40 patents to its credit, Basic American Foods is an acknowledged leader in research and development, earning universal respect for innovation, quality and customer service. The company continues to grow, staying focused on its customers and looks to the future with confidence. Today, Basic American Foods is a leading supplier of shelf-stable products to the foodservice market. Our portfolio, built on delivering quick, easy prep and consumer preferred taste.

Since our founding 10 years ago, we`ve always been a different kind of company. After moving to New York from his native Turkey, our CEO Hamdi Ulukaya thought everyone deserved better options, so he set about making delicious, nutritious, natural, and accessible Greek Yogurt right here in the U.S. Our mission since day one has been to provide better food to more people. And now as the No. 1-selling Greek Yogurt brand in America and the second largest overall yogurt manufacturer, we believe every food maker has a responsibility to provide people with better options, which is why we`re so proud of the way our food is made. From the very first batch that came off the line in Upstate New York, in 2007, our cups have been crafted using only natural, non-GMO ingredients. We refuse to use any preservatives. Our yogurt contains no artificial flavors, artificial sweeteners, or preservatives. It has been a busy 10 years for Chobani. Along our journey, we`ve constantly innovated our offerings to evolve with customer tastes and preferences, leading with values, and putting our people first. As we look to the future, Chobani is reinvigorating its founding mission with a vision to make universal wellness happen sooner using food as a force of good. Our vision builds on the company`s founding mission to provide better food for more people, while laying out how Chobani is defining wellness and where the brand will invest to achieve it: • Nutritional Wellness: Scaling our efforts to provide better food for more people. • Social Wellness: Increasing our investment in the communities we serve and the people who craft our food. • Environmental Wellness: Building a supply chain that ensures the planet`s health. This evolution supports Chobani`s ambition to become a food-focused wellness company and providing better food to all people.
