Ella's Kitchen is a company that makes special organic food for babies and toddlers. You can find their products in stores and online all around the world. The company started in 2004 and was later bought by another big company called Hain Celestial Group in 2013.
How Ella's Kitchen Started
Ella's Kitchen was created by a person named Paul Lindley in 2004. He named the company after his daughter, Ella. Paul used his own money to start the business after leaving his job at Nickelodeon, a TV channel.
The very first store to sell Ella's Kitchen organic baby food was Sainsbury's in 2006. Early advertisements for the food were shown on Nickelodeon. This was a special deal where Nickelodeon got a share of the money Ella's Kitchen made.
Growing Bigger
In 2009, Ella's Kitchen started selling its products in other countries. These included Sweden, Norway, and the United States. By 2014, it became the best-selling baby food company in the UK.
The company was bought by the Hain Celestial Group in 2013. Ella's Kitchen then became part of Hain Celestial's group that focuses on food for babies, toddlers, and kids worldwide. In 2016, Ella's Kitchen received a special B Corporation award. This means they meet high standards for being good to people and the planet.
What Products They Make
Ella's Kitchen makes and sells organic food for babies. They have about 80 different food products. These include baby food, toddler food, smoothies, and snack ranges. Ella's Kitchen was the first brand to sell baby food in easy-to-use pouches.
