P.A.N. Pre-cooked Corn Meal

P.A.N. (Productos Alimenticios Nacionales) is a globally recognized brand of pre-cooked corn meal, which is a staple ingredient for making traditional arepas, hallacas, and tamales. The brand was founded in 1960 in Venezuela by Empresas Polar to provide a more convenient alternative to the traditional manual corn processing method.

Today, P.A.N. is an international brand with a significant manufacturing footprint outside its home country to meet global demand. While its heritage is Venezuelan, the product is processed in various facilities worldwide, notably in the United States (Texas) and Italy, to serve different regional markets. The brand remains under the ownership of Empresas Polar, a major Venezuelan private corporation that continues to manage its global distribution and production quality.
