McCain Family & History

In 1957, Wallace and Harrison McCain, along with their brothers Robert and Andrew, founded McCain® Foods. Today, with the hard work of over 20,000 employees across six continents, one in every three fries in the world is a McCain® Foods fry.

Since our humble beginnings, McCain® Foods has expanded our offerings ​​​​​​​and our reach. Everything from appetisers to sweet potato fries can be found in restaurants and supermarket freezers across the country.
