Dole Crushed Pineapple

Dole is one of the world's most iconic fruit brands, with architectural roots tracing back to the Hawaiian Pineapple Company founded by James Dole in 1901 in Honolulu, Hawaii. The brand became synonymous with tropical fruit, specifically pineapples, and grew into a global powerhouse.

Today, the manufacturing of canned pineapple products like this occurs primarily in the Philippines and Thailand, where the brand maintains extensive plantations and processing facilities to ensure year-round availability. The labeling on this specific can confirms it was produced in the Philippines.

Following a series of corporate restructurings, the 'Dole' brand is now split between different entities. The packaged foods division (Dole Packaged Foods, LLC) is a subsidiary of the Dole Sunshine Company, which is owned by the Itochu Corporation. Itochu is a major Japanese conglomerate (Sogo Shosha) headquartered in Tokyo and Osaka, Japan. In Canada, these products are typically distributed by local subsidiaries or regional branches of Dole Packaged Foods.
