Food Allergy Brands from New Jersey

Not a "Taylor Ham" or "Pork Roll", but the roast beef is Jersey!

National New Jersey Day is an annual holiday for the Garden State held on July 27th. To celebrate, Joe and I wanted to pay tribute to the wonderful New Jersey-based food allergy-friendly brands we use, trust, and love!

New Jersey is known to be home to some of the world's leading food companies, giving the state a long and celebrated history in the food industry. Besides being the diner capital of the world, many companies from the food industry, such as Campbell Soup Company and Mars Wrigley, established their roots in New Jersey, dubbing the state the "food capital of America".

With the state being the leader in food innovation, there is a mix of food companies offering unique products that are in high demand around the world. You will find some familiar food allergy-aware brands, with headquarters or manufacturers located right here in our home state.

Below is a list of food allergy-friendly brands based in New Jersey that we use. For the full list of products and brands we use, check out our "brands" tab.
