The five largest food and beverage companies in the U.S. and Canada remain PepsiCo., Tyson Foods, Nestle, JBS USA and Kraft Heinz. That's according to our annual reporting of the top food & beverage companies in North America.
Food Processing's 49th annual Top 100© list (as of August 2024) ranks food and beverage processors based on their sales of value-added, consumer-ready (but not necessarily branded) goods that were processed in U.S. and Canadian facilities. Most of the sales figures are from calendar 2023, 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.
By the way, if the columns don't render well for your computer screen, you can touch the borders of the column headers in the green bar at the top and adjust the column widths so you can read all the company names.
