History of Pacific Foods

Founded: 1987
Founders: Chuck Eggert

Chuck Eggert founded Pacific Foods in 1987 in Tualatin, Oregon, pioneering shelf-stable aseptic packaging for organic soups and broths. The brand grew into a leader in natural channel grocery, known for boxed chicken broth, tomato soup, and later plant-based beverages.

Campbell acquired the company in late 2017 for $700 million as organic and plant-based categories accelerated, gaining an established brand with genuine natural-channel credibility that mainstream Campbell lines lacked.
