About us
Jack Hume founded Basic American Foods in 1933 with the belief that integrity and taste were paramount, and it’s these same beliefs that drive us today. While we started as a modest dehydration plant in California, we’ve grown our company and our capabilities over the last 85 years becoming the market leader, because we want to help people serve great food to as many people as possible. That’s why you’ll find our foods and brands in restaurants, schools, hospitals, grocery, and club stores around the world.

Let's celebrate #InternationalChefsDay!👩🍳This year's campaign is "Growing Great Chefs" to help inspire curiosity, creativity, and a love for cooking among children from all walks of life. To honor this holiday, we asked our chefs to share what inspired them to become a chef in hopes of inspiring someone else! We loved hearing from both of our chefs and especially how family played such an integral role in shaping their futures. #BAF #Culinary #Chefs #GrowingGreatChefs
