Bubbies Expands Distribution

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.
