Roman Meal Company · Tacoma, WA United States

This company might espouse the philosophy "do as the Romans do" even when making bread. Roman Meal is a leading producer of whole-grain baked bread products, including sandwich breads, hamburger and hot dog buns, and dinner rolls. It also markets a line of whole-grain and fruit snack bars, as well as several varieties of hot cereals. Roman Meal owns the recipes and brand name, and outsources production to more than 90 partner bakeries around the country. Dr. Robert Jackson developed the first Roman Meal recipes in the early 1900s based on the early diet of Roman legionnaires; the Matthaei family bought the company from Dr. Jackson in 1927. To read the full description, subscribe now.
