Food Processing's Top 100 - 2023

    The top 100 Food and Beverage Companies for U.S. and Canada 2023.

    For starters, hey, you're looking at a year-old list. See the 2024 list here.

    The five largest food and beverage companies in the U.S. and Canada remain PepsiCo., Tyson Foods, JBS USA, Nestle and Kraft Heinz. That's according to our annual reporting of the top food & beverage companies in North America.

    Food Processing's 48th annual Top 100© list (as of August 2023) ranks food and beverage processors based on their sales of value-added, consumer-ready goods that were processed in U.S. and Canadian facilities. Most of the sales figures are from calendar 2022, although a few companies have different fiscal years. In addition to the numbers below, click on a company's name and you'll get a profile of that processor, with address and contact info, key executives, brands owned and, in most cases, plant locations.
