Axium Foods

Axium Foods, A Division of McCleary, Inc.

Axium Foods, Inc. -- a division of McCleary, Inc. -- is a manufacturer of corn-based snack products, including plain and flavored tortilla chips, corn chips, puffed cheese snacks and crunchy cheese snacks.

Headquartered in South Beloit, IL, it is a private label snack food manufacturer and the maker of Pajeda’s, Fiesta Crunch and Mystic Harvest.

Eugene “Mac” McCleary graduated with a degree in Chemical Engineering from Michigan State University class of 1942. He enlisted in the Navy during World War II and was stationed in Beloit, WI, where he was head of government inspection for submarine engines being built at Fairbanks Morse.

After the war, Mac was offered a job at Adams Corporation, a fledgling company formed to manufacture and distribute the Korn Kurl, a new snack food that was invented on a local dairy farm. Mac worked with Adams Corporation for 15 years as their Director of Manufacturing and was instrumental in the development of continuous production of this new snack food.

Mac started his own private label snack food company November 22, 1960 and called it McCleary Industries, later to become McCleary Inc. and Axium Foods, Inc.

In the year 2000, Axium Foods created Pajeda’s, their first branded line of tortilla chips and snacks, then in 2010 they introduced Fiesta Crunch, a line of tortilla chips and potato poppers.

In November 2010, Axium Foods celebrated 50 years in business. Mac McCleary died in 2007, though today the company remains family-owned and operated.

In March, 2012, Axium Foods introduced the brand Mystic Harvest which includes tortilla chips made with purple corn.

Axium Foods has a full wastewater treatment plant that includes an anaerobic digester. That process creates methane gas, and while the company currently flares that gas, it is exploring ways to recapture it and/or generate electricity with it. The company also takes any dry waste created from producing its corn-based snacks and sells it as cattle feed to a local farmer, keeping the dry waste out of landfills. Raw materials for their snacks, primarily corn and flavorings, come from local farmers and ingredient companies.

Bamba (snack)

Bamba (Hebrew: בַּמְבָּה‎)

Bamba (Hebrew: בַּמְבָּה‎) is a peanut butter-flavored snack manufactured by the Osem corporation in Holon, Israel.

Bamba is one of the leading snack foods produced and sold in Israel. It has been marketed since 1964 with no decline in sales. Bamba makes up 25% of the Israeli snack market. Similar products from other domestic manufacturers include "Parpar" (Telma, since 2000 a subsidiary of Unilever) and "Shush" (Strauss).

Bamba is made from peanut butter-flavored puffed maize. Bamba contains no cholesterol, preservatives or food coloring, is enriched with several vitamins, and contains high amounts of fat and salt. The energy content is 544 calories per 100 grams. Bamba is certified Kosher by Badatz Jerusalem. Some describe it as "Cheez Doodles without the cheese."

Corn grits are "popped" under high pressure, turning them into long lines of white, puffed, unflavored Bamba. The lines are cut into nuggets and then moved to a drying chamber where they are air-baked for 20 seconds, which gives them a crispy texture. The peanut butter, imported from Argentina, is added at the end. A worker stands on a step above the rotating drums and pours a pitcher of liquid peanut butter into each of the containers. As the drums turn, the nuggets are coated. The hot Bamba is then moved along a conveyor belt to cool before packaging.

Bambeanos were a snack developed by Colgate-Palmolive which consisted of roasted and flavored whole soybeans. The product was introduced in 1975 and was discontinued by May 1976, having rapidly gained a reputation for causing excessive flatulence. Bambeanos cost Colgate $750,000 to develop and market before being withdrawn with fewer than 25,000 cases sold. A jury later awarded $571,000 to the roasting contractor, United Roasters, after Colgate's withdrawal.

The snack has often been described as a commercial failure.

Beer Nuts

Beer Nuts is a US brand of snack food building on the original product, peanuts with a "unique" sweet-and-salty glazing made to a "secret recipe". According to the manufacturer's website, the ingredients comprise "Peanuts, Vegetable Oil (Peanut and/or Coconut), Corn Syrup and Salt".

Although Beer Nuts do not contain any beer, the name suggests that they are intended as a side dish to beer consumption.

The official company history starts in 1937 when Edward Shirk and his son Arlo took over the Caramel Crisp confectionery store in Bloomington, Illinois, United States, which amongst others sold a product called Redskins, glazed peanuts with their red skins intact. Beginning in 1950, this product was sold packaged as Shirk's Glazed Peanuts in local National Liquor Stores.

Due to the business acumen of a local food distributor named Eldredge C. Brewster, in 1953 the product was gradually expanded to a national brand, and the Beer Nuts trademark was registered.

Their product line has since expanded to feature other nuts such as cashews and almonds, and various snack mixes, gift baskets and holiday-packaged items.

The company is still family owned; their only production site is still based in Bloomington.

In Australia, "Beer nuts" simply refers to salted roasted peanuts with the testa (red skin) intact. These are sold unglazed.

Better Made Potato Chips Inc.

Better Made Potato Chips Inc. is a brand name for a variety of potato chips in the United States that was founded in 1930. Better Made is also the name of the company that produces the potato chips. The company provides consumers with a wide variety of potato chips, cheese curls, and cheese puffs.

In 1930, Cross Moceri and Peter Cipriano purchased a potato chip factory in Detroit, Michigan. The building is located on the east side of Detroit on Gratiot Avenue near Belle Isle, Downtown Detroit, and Eastern Market. In 1934, the company was known as Cross & Peters Company. That same year, Peter and Cross launched their first and only brand of potato chips: Better Made.

At the time, there were 31 potato chip companies in the City of Detroit

In 1937, workers at the company unionized and pay increased to 40 cents per hour. With sales up, the company moved to its current location on Gratiot Avenue in the east side of Detroit in 1955. New and improved fryers cooked up to 100 pounds of potato chips at a time. In 1955, wavy and rigid potato chips were introduced, and in the 1960s, Popcorn, Barbecue, Red Hot, and Cheese flavors. By the 1970s, Better Made expanded sales to Toledo, Ohio. Peter Cipriano died in 1981. Three months later Cross Moceri died as well. Ownership was inherited and split equally between the sons of the two men. Robert Marriacino was hired as president of the company with all children of the two men holding high ranking positions within the company.

In 1990, the 60th anniversary of Cross & Peters Company was celebrated with special edition bags of chips and new special edition flavors such as ketchup. In 2003, the Moceri family's ownership interests in the company were bought out. The company rebranded as Better Made Snack Foods Inc. That same year, the company sold 36 million dollars of products. In 2008, the company made their products available for online purchase.

In 1994, the company merged with a potato chip firm, Made-Rite Chip Company, in Bay City, Michigan.

BiFi

BiFi is an originally German brand of sausage-based snacks now owned by Link Snacks. In the original version, it is a thin, jerky-like salami; variations include a poultry-based salami, a salami wrapped in a white or wheat roll (BiFi Roll and BiFi Roll Korn), a roll filled with beef, beans and bacon (Ranger), and a roll filled with salami, cheese, and pizza sauce (BiFi Carazza). Larger versions of several of these products, distinguished by the ending "XXL," are available; these include the original BiFi, BiFi Roll, and BiFi Carazza.

In the United Kingdom, a similar snack called Peperami is sold, also by Jack Link's. It is made of pork following their decision to stop making the snack out of beef. The Peperami name was first used for the spicy version of BiFi in Germany, later known as Peperoni.

The BiFi brand was originally registered in Germany in 1972 and later purchased by Unilever. On 21 February 2014, Unilever announced that it has signed a definitive agreement for the sale of its meat snacks business to Jack Link’s, for an undisclosed amount. The sale includes the brands Bifi, sold in Benelux, Germany, Austria and Switzerland, and Peperami, which retails in the UK and Ireland.

There are various types of BiFi:

Like Peperami, BiFi's television advertising is humorous.

In the 1990s, BiFi copied the advertisements at the time for Peperami, featuring the "Animal". However, Ade Edmonson's English voice (for the Animal) was overdubbed with the German translations for the words, and the ending consequently features a BiFi packet, not a Peperami packet.

In 2001, BiFi "debuted" an advertising campaign featuring a supermarket/office area called Zomtec. There were ten adverts in the series, lasting even into 2003. They feature numerous characters and their "mishaps" with BiFi. One of the more famous ones (in English-language) featured a man "reach" for a BiFi, but someone else reaches for it first. Upset, other people offer him a BiFi, but it turns out to be a joke as one of the people offering him a BiFi licks the BiFi.
