Make a greater impact at Bonduelle Americas!

At Bonduelle Americas, we're on a mission to make plant-rich eating easy, accessible, and joyful for everyone. As a certified B Corp, we invite people to embrace a flexitarian lifestyle with an expanding portfolio of plant-rich products available in and beyond the produce aisle.

With four facilities and nearly 3,000 Associates in the US, we're part of something bigger: a global movement rooted in over 170 years of family heritage. Our parent company, Groupe Bonduelle (BON.PA), brings plant-rich foods to tables in nearly 100 countries and partners with growers who cultivate more than 173,000 acres of fresh, nutritious produce each year.

At Bonduelle-Americas, you'll find more than just a career; you'll find purpose with a team that puts people first, values sustainability, and believes in doing well by doing good. Together, we're inspiring the shift towards a plant-rich diet that nourishes both people and the plant.
