Dream Foods founder Adriana Kahane said that the business was a “great addition” to the group’s portfolio of natural and speciality products. “It expands our presence to the dry grocery category and allows us to service the fast growing Hispanic food trends in the market,” she commented.

Roni Goldberg, founder of Hispanic Specialty Brands, added: “Our strong position in the all-natural Hispanic market makes Casa Mexicana an excellent addition to the Dream Foods portfolio of gourmet products. Casa Mexicana will benefit greatly by their distribution, resources and management team.”
