PepsiCo and Israeli food and drinks producer Strauss Group have inked plans for a joint venture in North America, the companies said today (10 December).
The two sides, which have been in talks since September, will run Strauss’ Sabra business in the US and Canada, selling a range of dips and spreads in both markets.
PepsiCo and Strauss will each own a 50% stake in the business, which will sell Sabra, the best-selling hummus brand in the US.
“Sabra is a wonderful opportunity to expand PepsiCo’s role in providing healthier options in snacking,” Al Carey, president and CEO of PepsiCo’s snacks arm, Frito-Lay North America, said.
Strauss president and CEO Erez Vigodman added: “Sabra will lead the freshness revolution in the United States and Canada, consistent with notable emerging consumer trends in the world today.”
