What B&G Foods, Inc. does

In the company’s own words

B&G Foods, Inc. manufactures, sells and distributes a diverse portfolio of branded, high-quality shelf-stable and frozen food and household products across the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico. The company operates through four reportable segments: Specialty, Meals, Frozen & Vegetables, and Spices & Flavor Solutions. More information is available at www.bgfoods.com.

The company's extensive brand portfolio includes iconic names such as Crisco, Green Giant, Ortega, Clabber Girl, Maple Grove Farms of Vermont, Cream of Wheat, Dash, Spice Islands, Bear Creek Country Kitchens, Polaner, Victoria, Underwood, B&M, Grandma's, Tone's, and Static Guard. Many of these brands hold leading regional or national market positions within their respective categories. B&G Foods has been in business for over 130 years and has successfully acquired and integrated more than 50 brands since 1996, establishing itself as a consolidator of complementary branded food businesses.

The company operates ten manufacturing facilities and maintains a multi-channel distribution system comprising six primary shelf-stable distribution centers and seven frozen distribution centers across the United States and Canada. As of January 3, 2026, B&G Foods employed 2,497 people, with approximately 48.3 percent of the workforce covered by collective bargaining agreements. The company serves all major U.S. food channels including supermarkets, mass merchants, warehouse clubs, foodservice distributors, military commissaries and e-tailers. Walmart represents the company's largest customer, accounting for approximately 31 percent of fiscal 2025 net sales, while the top ten customers collectively represented approximately 63.6 percent of net sales.

B&G Foods positions its products to appeal to consumers seeking high-quality, reasonably priced offerings. The company complements branded retail sales with institutional and foodservice sales and private label offerings. The business model relies on a combination of organic growth through new product development and disciplined acquisitions of complementary branded businesses. The company has recently completed several divestitures of non-core brands to sharpen focus and improve margins while pursuing strategic acquisitions to expand its portfolio.
