Goode Foods is a family-owned and Black-owned canned goods company founded by patriarch Emile Johnson in 2003. From a young age, Johnson always knew that he wanted to own a business that helps people — and Goode Foods is doing just that by providing convenient, nutritious food to families across the country.
Goode Foods’ mission statement, “Dedicated to Good Nutrition for Our Country”, couldn’t be more relevant today as the U.S. has some of the highest rates of diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, and obesity in the world.
“We are in an epidemic regarding our health, especially our community,” Johnson emphasized.
Johnson and his family were inspired when former first lady Michelle Obama implemented the “Let’s Move!” initiative, which encouraged children and their families to eat more nutritious foods. Goode Foods’ canned beans and vegetables contain no sugar, are low in sodium, and high in vitamins like calcium, iron, and protein. The brand is also USDA and WIC approved.
