 Birds Eye Foods makes more than 40 of America's favorite brands. From Birds Eye vegetables to Snyder of Berlin chips, we bring nutritious and fun foods to your table. Previously known as Agrilink Foods, Birds Eye Foods was founded in the early sixties when, as Curtice Burns, we formed a partnership with a farmer cooperative, Pro-Fac Cooperative. We've had a strong relationship with the Co-op these past four decades. Pro-Fac members grow most of the raw product which is then processed in nearby Birds Eye facilities. In 1994, Pro-Fac bought then-Curtice Burns Foods and we became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Cooperative. Three years later, Curtice Burns Foods changed its name to Agrilink Foods, to more accurately reflect its close links to agriculture. Today we are known as Birds Eye Foods. In 2002, a subsidiary of an investment firm, Vestar Capital Partners, bought the majority share of Birds Eye Foods. Pro-Fac continues as a significant minority owner and Birds Eye Foods continues to be Pro-Fac's biggest customer, while Pro-Fac continues to be Birds Eye Foods' largest source of raw material. Our products are sold under well-known regional and national brands as well as under private label, or store brands. Familiar brands include Birds Eye, Comstock, Freshlike, and McKenzie's.
