Ziba Foods

Chicago, IL

Ziba Foods is a natural products brand from Chicago, IL with 18 products on Beacon Discovery, mostly shelf stable nuts & trail mix & dried fruit. 18 are Certified Non-GMO and 14 Certified Gluten-Free, and its range is distributed by UNFI and KeHE.

Ziba's founder's paths intersected while working in Afghanistan, and they quickly realized they were passionate about the same things: good food, a healthy lifestyle, and a sustainable approach to business. They saw an opportunity to bring delicious, unique snacks to the world while aiding our mission to design and implement an ethical supply chain. We knew there was a way to do business differently: to be a social enterprise benefiting marginalized communities while also being mindful of bringing a high-quality product to market. Ziba's mission is origin-focused: We do all our processing within Afghanistan in order to capture the most value for Afghans: to provide full-time jobs and a steady income to as many people as possible.
