Perdue Farms is dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for everyone we touch through innovative food and agricultural products. Since our beginning on Arthur Perdue`s farm in 1920, to our expansion into agribusiness and the introduction of the PERDUE® brand of chicken and turkey under Frank Perdue, and continuing with our third generation of leadership with Chairman Jim Perdue, we`ve remained family owned and family operated. We are the parent company of Perdue Foods and Perdue AgriBusiness. Through our PERDUE®, HARVESTLAND®, COLEMAN NATURAL® and COLEMAN ORGANIC® food brands; agricultural products and services; and stewardship and corporate responsibility programs, we are working to become the most-trusted name in food and agricultural products.
With our pioneering Horizon, Silk, So Delicious, Alpro, Vega™, Earthbound Farm and International Delight brands, WhiteWave Foods made alternative food choices mainstream, creating not just new categories, but also a new consumer mindset. Today, great-tasting, nutritious, innovative foods like ours are no longer the exception in grocery stores. Consumers expect and demand new choices ⎯ and every day, WhiteWave delivers them. Our company’s history is rooted in the spirit and principles of small food. But The WhiteWave Foods Company has the scale and resources of big food, which allows us to bring better food to more people. Uniting the best of big and small also means maintaining constant focus on our environmental and social responsibilities. We work to reduce waste, water usage and greenhouse gas emissions throughout our operations, focusing on our plants and our company-owned farms. We are also champions for food security, lending our support to national hunger relief organizations and those that operate in our local communities. The chance to change the world for the better is powerful motivation. People want to work at The WhiteWave Foods Company because we’re creating a different kind of food company, one that combines the spirit and principles of small food with the scale and resources of big food. Many talented people choose a career at WhiteWave over other opportunities because they are inspired by our vision. Everyone at WhiteWave wants to make a difference in the future of our company.
We are a group of farmers, cooks, and food professionals who couldn`t find what we wanted in the food system, so we are building it ourselves from the ground up, animal-by-animal, plant-by-plant, meal-by-meal. A truly transparent, regenerative supply chain for the future. That is our Venture, we are the Cooks.
According to the World Health Organization, in 2016, worldwide 1.9 billion adults were overweight and 650 million adults were obese. The WHO also points out that the number of people with diabetes rose from 108 million in 1980 to 422 million in 2014. According to the American Diabetes Association, about 193,000 Americans under age 20 are estimated to have diagnosed diabetes, while about one in three American kids and teens is overweight or obese (American Heart Association). With these sobering facts in mind, just like you, consumers in the US, Europe and many other countries around the world are looking for a better alternative to sugar and artificial sweeteners. The number of overweight and obese people is increasing rapidly and diabetes is becoming a widespread disease. The growing concern regarding health risks associated with sugar and artificial sweeteners is now forcing consumers to reconsider their choices when it comes to sweetened foods and beverages. SweeGen, a California based company, specializes in nature-based sweeteners. Our Bestevia® stevia leaf sweeteners are non-caloric with delicious sweet taste and without the characteristic aftertaste of the stevia extracts of the past. Bestevia® makes it possible to reduce sugar at much higher concentrations than before without sacrificing taste which is what the health-conscious consumer wants, less sugar, less calories and great taste. After many years of research and development our innovative team has come up with a nature-derived production process that combines nature with modern fermentation, supports farmers and at the same time is sustainable. Our products have been confirmed safe for use in food products by the FDA (Generally Recognized as Safe) and certified as Non-GMO and can be used in different food and beverage products. This enables you to reduce the amount of sugar you ingest in your favorite foods and beverages.
