Goode Foods is a family-owned and Black-owned canned goods company founded by patriarch Emile Johnson in 2003. From a young age, Johnson always knew that he wanted to own a business that helps people — and Goode Foods is doing just that by providing convenient, nutritious food to families across the country.
Goode Foods’ mission statement, “Dedicated to Good Nutrition for Our Country”, couldn’t be more relevant today as the U.S. has some of the highest rates of diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, and obesity in the world.
“We are in an epidemic regarding our health, especially our community,” Johnson emphasized.
Johnson and his family were inspired when former first lady Michelle Obama implemented the “Let’s Move!” initiative, which encouraged children and their families to eat more nutritious foods. Goode Foods’ canned beans and vegetables contain no sugar, are low in sodium, and high in vitamins like calcium, iron, and protein. The brand is also USDA and WIC approved.
The Goode Foods family wants customers to know that canned goods are just as healthy as fresh produce. Their products are 100% U.S. grown, canned at the source, and are just as new and crunchy as in-store produce.
Some of their canned goods, such as the pinto beans, also serve as meat substitutes. Goode Foods offers recipes that use their products to make meatless meals like Vegan Jamaican Patties and Pinto Bean Sloppy Joes.
Goode Foods is available at national chains such as Walmart, Kroger, Albertson’s, and Meijer, in over 17 states including Texas, Georgia, Illinois, Louisiana, Michigan Ohio, Wisconsin, Tennessee, Kentucky, and Indiana. Find more locations on their website store finder.
