In a statement on Facebook, Pamela’s Products added: “Big news. We’ve joined forces with Ancient Harvest to bring you more great gluten-free products. You’ll still get the Pamela’s foods you know and love – plus other gluten-free options from the company that introduced quinoa to the US more than 30 years ago.”

Pamela’s Products was set up by Pamela Giusto-Sorrells in 1988. The company’s product range spans baking mixes, biscuits, snack bars and ramen. Giusto-Sorrells said: “The gluten-free space has exploded over the years, and the company has grown accordingly. Joining forces with Ancient Harvest ensures that our commitment to delivering the best gluten-free foods will continue with a company that has the same values and dedication to quality that have put us on the map.”

Quinoa Corporation was founded in 1989. The Colorado-based business has a portfolio taking in quinoa products, polenta and pasta, all sold under the Ancient Harvest brand. The company’s product range also includes Pow pasta, which contains an elevated level of protein.
