Quaker Super Grains Hot Cereal

Quaker Super Grains is a premium hot cereal blend consisting of whole grain oats, flaxseed, and quinoa. The brand's history dates back to 1877 when the Quaker Mill Company was founded in Ravenna, Ohio, by Henry Parsons Crowell. It became famous for being the first brand to register a trademark for a breakfast cereal in the United States, utilizing the iconic image of the 'Quaker Man' to symbolize quality and integrity.

In Canada, Quaker has maintained a significant industrial presence since 1902. The primary manufacturing facility for the Canadian market is located in Peterborough, Ontario. This plant processes locally sourced Canadian oats to supply a wide range of products including Super Grains, standard oatmeal, and granola bars. While the brand is deeply rooted in North American agricultural traditions, it is no longer an independent entity.

Since 2001, the Quaker Oats Company has been a subsidiary of PepsiCo, a global food and beverage giant headquartered in the United States. PepsiCo's acquisition was largely motivated by the inclusion of the Gatorade brand within Quaker's portfolio at the time. Today, the brand continues to operate as a key pillar of PepsiCo's nutrition division, blending its long-standing heritage with modern nutritional trends like ancient grains.
