Blue Planet Foods, Inc. is a subsidiary of McKee Foods Corporation (formerly McKee Baking Company) headquartered in Tennessee, USA. The company is primarily engaged in producing and distributing various food products that are made from granola and a mixture of oats that have been combined with other ingredients such as fruits, nuts and sweeteners.

History
Blue Planet Foods’ started in 1974, when McKee Baking Company acquired Sovex. Sovex was a small food manufacturing facility in Collegedale, Tennessee engaged in the processing of granola. The name of this small processing company was changed to Blue Planet Foods in 2004.

The name change was to represent the company’s growing line of brands for retail as well as the company’s commitment to providing consumers with nutritious, high-quality food products.

Since McKee Baking Company’s (now known as McKee Foods Corporation) purchase of Blue Planet Foods over thirty years ago, this small company has grown into one of the major producers and suppliers in the food industry. Blue Planet Foods Inc. still continues to manufacture excellent quality granola-based food products.

Part of Blue Planet Foods’ facilities is a full-service Research & Development department. This department is responsible for creating and customizing formulas that meet consumers’ exact specifications. As the people who are working for the company’s R & D department all have more than 30 years of experience, this will assure consumers that the people working on creating new products are experts in the area of food and nutrition. The company’s attention to detail is also an assurance to its customers that all products created by the company have a quality that is the same, or even surpasses, those of national brands.

Today, Blue Planet Foods Inc. is considered one of the major suppliers to private label food companies. The company provides products, packaging, and development for the ready-to-eat section of the food industry.

Some of the products created by the company are granola cereals and granola pie-crusts. These products are packed and distributed under either the HeartLand® or Hearty Life® brands, or under a company’s private label.
