Food Processing's Top 100 List for 2026

Here are the 100 largest food and beverage companies, based on sales of U.S.- and Canadian-made products.

The four largest food & beverage companies in the U.S. and Canada remain PepsiCo, Tyson Foods, JBS USA and Nestle – but with its acquisition of Kellanova, Mars Inc. leapfrogged Coca-Cola and Kraft Heinz for spot No. 5. That's according to our annual reporting of the top food & beverage companies in North America.

Food Processing's 51st annual Top 100© list (as of August 2026) ranks food & beverage processors based on their 2025 (or most recent fiscal year) sales of value-added, consumer-ready (but not necessarily branded) goods that were processed in U.S. and Canadian facilities. While the default for this chart is based on those U.S. and Canadian sales, you can click on any column and sort the list several ways – alphabetically, based on 2024 sales, most profitable … every column is sortable.

Most of the sales figures are from calendar 2025, 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.
