Bruce Foods Corporation
Hot sauce and candied yams -- aaiiieeee! Bruce Foods was Cajun long before Cajun was, well, hot. The company's Original Louisiana Hot Sauce is a top-selling US hot sauce (along with rival McIlhenny's Tabasco brand pepper sauce.) Louisiana-brand hot peppers -- for brave souls -- are available, too. Bruce Foods makes less lethal offerings, including canned yams and sweet potato pancake, muffin, and biscuit mixes. Cajun King seasonings, Casa Fiesta Mexican foods, and Mexene chili beans and seasonings round out the menu. The company's products are sold in more than 100 countries. Bruce Foods was founded in 1928 by the father of CEO Si Brown, whose family owns the company.
