Lakeview Farms, the parent company behind Luisa’s, Salads of the Sea, Sea Gold and Senor Rico among others, announced a new addition to its portfolio.
The Delphos, Ohio-based company is acquiring Tribe Mediterranean Foods.
"We are excited to welcome Tribe and its employees to our Lakeview Farms organization," Tom Davis, chief executive officer of Lakeview Farms, said.

We look forward to continuing to build our business through innovation, world-class manufacturing, and distribution."
Based in Taunton, Mass., Tribe Mediterranean creates preservative-free prepared hummus products that are plant-based, kosher-certified, vegan-friendly and do not contain any GMO ingredients.
Tribe’s hummus products also do not contain artificial preservatives, no cholesterol or hydrogenated oils, and are created without the use of high-fructose corn syrup.
