The Best Food Brands of North America

North America presents a unique arena for food brands to thrive and compete in. This is mostly due to the vast number of countries, cultures, and diverse immigrant populations that call North America home.

Let’s take a closer look at some of the best food brands of North America:

10. Weis Markets Inc

Weis Markets is an American chain of supermarkets that was founded in 1912 by brothers William and Ralph Weisel who took over a location previously owned by their father – a successful fruit vendor. They started off offering just food products as well as various household items but providing customer service on the highest level possible (back then it was actually considered as something odd for this industry). 

This allowed them to gain a certain level of popularity among local people thus forcing them to expand the business even further through opening up other locations throughout New York state while adding more variety into existing ones including dairy, meat, pet foods, etc.

9. Whole Foods Market Inc

Whole Foods Market Inc is an international supermarket chain specializing in healthy foods selling natural or organic products such as fresh fruits and vegetables etc. 

The company focuses primarily on offering high-quality yet affordable goods while providing a great customer experience through friendly staff members all across most of its 365 locations worldwide.

8. Tyson

Tyson is an American food processing company that specializes in chicken, beef, and pork meat. The company also has a wide range of other products like pet foods, animal feeds, and so on. 

Tyson Foods was founded by John W. Tyson in 1935 as ‘John W. Tyson & Bros’ to supply chickens for the family grocery business started by his father in 1869 – JW & Co., which later became one of the largest grocery chains in Arkansas during the early 20th century. 

Today it is considered as one of the biggest poultry processing companies worldwide with annual revenue exceeding $40 billion while employing over 1,00,000 workers worldwide (61% of those being within US territory).

7. Chipotle Mexican Grill

Chipotle Mexican Grill Inc is an American chain of fast-casual restaurants known for serving burritos and tacos made from fresh ingredients using classic cooking techniques like grilling or roasting instead of frying or deep frying methods more commonly used today at many similar competitors focusing on the fast-food industry only which include most other major burger brands including McDonald’s, Burger King or Wendy’s just to name a few. 

However unlike them, Chipotle does not use any kind of artificial flavors added directly to their menu items nor do they add meat fillers allowing customers to choose what goes inside their favorite meals right before payment without worrying about losing any flavor whatsoever.

6. JBS USA, LLC

JBS is a worldwide leader in the production of animal protein. The company buys and markets beef and pork as well as provides frozen meat to families around the world. They produce multiple brands under their own name including fresh beef products like patties, steaks, roasts, or unprocessed cuts such as sirloin tip steak or boneless ham shanks. JBS is one of five companies that control about 80% of the global food business either directly or indirectly.

5. Kellogg Co.

Kellogg produces, manufactures, markets, and sells a variety of breakfast cereals and companion products. The company has developed over 100 varieties of cereal with different flavors while keeping the original formulation recipe. In addition to cereals, Kellogg offers many snack items including granola bars and Pop-Tarts as well as sauces such as Pringles tartar sauce

4. The Hershey Company.

Hershey’s produces some of the most popular chocolate brands in North America, including Reese’s, Hershey’s Kisses, and Milk Duds among others. It employs close to 17,000 people at its manufacturing plants across the United States and is one of Pennsylvania’s largest employers by headcount (and one of North America’s biggest private companies).

3. Nestle USA Inc.

Nestle’s brands include Nescafe, Dreyer’s/Edy’s, Stouffer’s, and Lean Cuisine. The company is a subsidiary of the Swiss-based food giant Nestle SA and has been in business for more than 130 years.

Nestlé has dominated the North American market mostly due to its ability to keep prices low and still manage to stay profitable. This is in part due to the economies of scale that the company has been able to achieve over many decades, but also partly related to their ability to find and secure new water resources that can be used for bottling.

2 . ConAgra Foods Inc.

ConAgra produces some of America’s most famous packaged foods and snacks including Chef Boyardee pasta meals, Hunt’s ketchup, and Hebrew National hot dogs among others. 

The company is headquartered in Omaha with about 30 manufacturing plants across the United States that employ nearly 20,000 people in total — making it one of Nebraska’s largest employers by headcount (and one of North America’s biggest private companies).

1. Kraft Foods

Kraft produces some of the best-known food brands in North America, including Kraft Singles, Jell-O, Cool Whip, and Lunchables. The company is a subsidiary of Altria Group Inc., which also owns Philip Morris USA.

Kraft foods have succeeded mostly due to the great marketing strategy the company has adopted in order to target the right consumer market. The products have been promoted as nutritious and healthy, leaving a very positive impression on consumers of all ages. It is also important to note that Kraft foods were able to make its best use of technological advances throughout history, especially during World War II when they were contracted by the U.S government to manufacture military rations (Kraft Historical Timeline). This enabled them to gain an upper hand over other companies that had more problems adapting due to their status as civilian food producers throughout the war years (Culinary Arts Institute).
