Where America’s Snacks Began

We started as the National Biscuit Company in 1898, born from the merger of bakeries across the country. Our mission was simple: create consistent, high-quality baked goods Americans could trust.

That commitment led to the Uneeda Biscuit — the first cracker sold in a protective package instead of a barrel. Then came Barnum’s Animal Crackers in the iconic circus box. By 1912, we launched the Oreo, which became the world’s best-selling cookie.

We pioneered innovations like wax paper-lined packaging and moisture-proof containers — technologies that kept crackers crisp and cookies fresh from bakery to pantry. Those advances set the standard for packaged foods across the industry.
