Jell-O Vanilla Instant Pudding & Pie Filling

Jell-O is one of the most iconic dessert brands in North American history, originally created in 1897 by Pearle Bixby Wait in Le Roy, New York. The brand specialized in gelatin-based desserts before expanding into instant puddings and pie fillings. It became a household staple due to its convenience and versatility in family recipes.

Today, Jell-O is owned by The Kraft Heinz Company, a global food and beverage giant. Most Jell-O products sold in North America are manufactured in the United States, specifically in facilities such as the one in Mason City, Iowa, though supply chains may include ingredients or packaging from multiple countries. The brand remains a dominant leader in the gelatin and pudding market, maintaining its historical legacy under the Kraft Heinz portfolio.
