Libby's 100% Pure Pumpkin

Libby's 100% Pure Pumpkin is a staple in American households, primarily known for its essential role in making pumpkin pie. The product is renowned for its consistency and quality, produced from a specific proprietary variety of Dickinson pumpkin known for its creamy texture and rich color.

The history of Libby's dates back to 1868 when it was founded in Chicago, Illinois, as a meatpacking company. Over the decades, it expanded into various canned food categories. Today, the canned pumpkin business is deeply rooted in Morton, Illinois, which is often referred to as the 'Pumpkin Capital of the World.' Nearly all of Libby's canned pumpkin is processed at its facility in Morton using pumpkins grown in the surrounding Illinois fields.

While the Libby's brand name is used across various food categories managed by different companies, the canned pumpkin and meat products are currently owned and produced by Nestlé. Nestlé acquired the brand in 1970 and continues to maintain the long-standing tradition of Illinois-based manufacturing for its pumpkin products.
