Gardein (a portmanteau of garden and protein) is a line of meat-free foods produced by Conagra Brands. In 2003, the company was founded by Yves Potvin, who remained as the CEO of Gardein until 2016.[1] In November 2014, Pinnacle Foods purchased Gardein for $154 million.[2][3] Pinnacle was acquired by Conagra in 2018.[4]

The company has production facilities in Richmond, British Columbia and Hagerstown, Maryland.[5] All of Gardein's products are vegan. The company uses a proprietary process to make its meatless products. In 2014, the company began producing gluten free meatless products.[6]
