WhiteWave Foods: Producer of Packaged Food and Organic Produce

The acquisition WhiteWave Foods made in January 2014 added to the operations and the size of the business. It was Earthbound Farms that the company acquired, the largest grower of organic produce in America.

WhiteWave Foods is listed as a consumer packaged food and beverage company that has operations in the Americas and as well as in Europe. The company is the owner of Horizon Organic, Silk, International Delight, Land O’ Lakes, Alpro and Provamel. The business is engaged in the manufacturing, marketing, distribution and direct selling of branded foods and beverages that include coffee, creamers, organic produce, premium dairy and other beverages. The business was once a subsidiary of Dean Foods and was spun off in an IPO in August 2012.

The company is known as one of the packaged food businesses that have strongly underscored their commitment to sustainability. The company has initiatives in greenhouse gas emissions, water conservation and ingredient sourcing. Not only is this helping the enterprise’s expenses, but also addresses its social responsibilities in the community.
