Bubbies Fine Foods’ (Bubbies), the only widely available fermented pickle in the U.S. and a leading pickle brand in the natural channel, is now available at H-E-B, Texas’ largest grocery retailer. 

Bubbies’ Kosher Dill Pickles and Kosher Dill Pickle Chips are stocked in select H-E-B locations in Texas.

“This is a huge milestone for us — and big news for Texans,” said Jorge Azevedo, CEO of Fermented Food Holdings, Inc. (FFH), the parent company of Bubbies. “Texans looking for bold flavor and serious crunch – with the added benefit of probiotics – now have easy access at their local H-E-B.”

Bubbies is a leading U.S. supplier in the natural foods category, and the Kosher Dill Pickles are the best-selling refrigerated pickle item in natural food stores. Bubbies uses a 140-year-old recipe for its Kosher Dill Pickles, creating a pickle known for its cloudy brine and signature crisp crunch. Both the whole Kosher Dill Pickles and new Pickle Chips are fermented, certified kosher, non-GMO, gluten-free, free of artificial preservatives and dyes, and contain no added sugar.

In summer 2024, Bubbies expanded its innovation pipeline with the launch of what is believed to be the world’s first fermented pickle chip – a sliced, ready-to-serve version of its fan-favorite whole pickles. The idea was born from consumer insights showing many customers regularly sliced their Bubbies pickles for use in burgers, sandwiches, salads, and more. 

This marks the second major retail expansion for Bubbies this year, thanks in part to growing consumer awareness around gut health and fermented foods.
