Nourishment for life is not only our passion but has been our mission for over six decades. Here at LALA U.S., we believe our success comes from listening to the needs of our customers which is why we have continued to expand and grow our business. The LALA U.S.® story is rich with dairy history. Our name comes from our parent company, Grupo LALA – a Mexican dairy company, founded in 1949 in Torreón, Coahuila. It is the only dairy company that operates nationwide in Mexico. It expanded into the United States in 2005, and began acquiring manufacturing plants in North America in 2009. Today, LALA U.S. continues to expand its reach across North America with both regional and national value-added dairy brands from manufacturing plants in Colorado, Nebraska and Texas.
BlueNalu`s mission is to be the global leader in cell-cultured seafood, providing consumers with great tasting, healthy, safe and trusted seafood products, that support the sustainability and diversity of our oceans. Consumers worldwide have become increasingly aware of the challenges that exist in our fishing and seafood industry. BlueNalu will disrupt the current industry practice, in which fish are farmed or wild-caught in our oceans and seas. Instead, we will produce real seafood products directly from fish cells, in a way that is healthy for people, humane for animals, and sustainable for our planet.

Health-Ade Kombucha was founded in 2012 by Daina Trout, her husband Justin, and best friend Vanessa Dew, with a tiny credit card and a big dream: to brew the best tasting and highest quality kombucha you can buy. They stop at nothing to make real food and real kombucha, like ferment 100% in glass to prevent plastic and metal leaching, produce in super-small 2.5 gallon batches for premium quality, and flavor only with the highest quality ingredients possible, like raw cold-pressed juice from organic produce. Los Angeles-based Health-Ade is proud to be certified organic, non-GMO, kosher, vegan, raw, and gluten-free, and currently has 13 delicious flavors distributed across 6,000+ stores nationwide. The company has quadrupled in size each year since its inception and is thrilled to be one of the fastest growing and top performing national brands in the marketplace. No matter how much Health-Ade expands, they will never compromise on quality and will remain true to their original mission: to inspire others to do what they have successfully learned to do in business—FOLLOW YOUR GUT!
