Planters Salted Cashew Halves

Planters is an iconic American snack brand founded by Amedeo Obici and Mario Peruzzi in 1906. Based in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, the company introduced its famous mascot, Mr. Peanut, in 1916. For over a century, the brand has been a staple in the nut and snack industry, known for its wide variety of salted nuts and trail mixes.

In 2021, the brand underwent a significant ownership change when Kraft Heinz sold the Planters business to Hormel Foods in a multi-billion dollar deal. Today, Hormel Foods maintains the brand's legacy while managing production across North America. While the brand is American in origin, products sold in Canada are often manufactured locally in Canadian facilities to serve the domestic market specifically, though components may be sourced globally.
