The J.M. Smucker Co.

Today, we celebrate 95 years of Twinkies® and the journey from banana-flavored cream filling to becoming a favorite treat for generations of fans. To help us celebrate, enjoy a Twinkie® while checking out this timeline of key moments in the history of this beloved snack.

Each year, National Peanut Butter and Jelly Day is celebrated on April 2nd to honor the classic sandwich, which dates back as early as 1901. We’re proud to produce two iconic brands that are synonymous with the sandwich- our Jif® peanut butter and our namesake Smucker’s® fruit spreads all in various formats and flavors so you can make your own perfect sandwich to celebrate today!

Springtime is here and you can always count on Hostess® to create perfectly themed treats to celebrate the seasons year-round! On shelves now for a limited time, you can find classic Hostess® Snacks with a sunny, spring twist such as Strawberry Twinkies®, pastel Cupcakes and more.

The J.M. Smucker Co. has long supported responsibility and sustainability within the agricultural industry with efforts focusing on securing the future of coffee. One of our major projects involves partnering with organizations such as Hanns R. Neumann Stiftung - HRNS, who recently guided employees on a visit to a coffee-growing region in Sumatra where we have supported the farmers for over 10 years.

The launch of our new Hostess® marketing campaign, ‘Speakie Snackie,’ proudly proclaims that no brand understands and delivers on your snack cravings better! The brilliantly “pun-ny” campaign creative makes your favorite Hostess® treats the stars of the show and celebrates how these iconic names have become synonymous with culture. With the continued variety of snacking solutions consumers have to choose from, we are excited to leverage our marketing model, which has supported leading brands like Jif®, Folgers®, Milk-Bone® and Meow Mix® while helping establish new favorites including Uncrustables® and Cafe Bustelo®, to bring the Hostess brand into culture and top of mind. 

The brilliant minds at Milk-Bone® and PEEPS® have teamed up to make an egg-citing new seasonal treat for your pups! Delicious PEEPS® Marshmallow have long been a springtime staple, and now your dog can safely share in the spirit of the season with new Milk-Bone® PEEPS® Artificially Flavored Marshmallow Dog Treats. Our internal R&D team worked to create these adorable treats inspired by the classic shapes and colors of PEEPS®, while capturing the perfect marshmallow flavor to ensure a great snacking experience. Collaboration and innovation are at the center of many limited-edition products produced by Milk-Bone, and PEEPS® was an easy choice to celebrate spring!

Earlier this month, our Buffalo operations facility partnered with the Amherst Police Department (NY) to support their Community Engagement and Support Canine (CESC) Program. Manny, a Labrador puppy, was donated to the APD by the Devin Waring Foundation last October as a support canine to offer comfort to crime victims and provide emotional support to citizens in need. Manny received Milk-Bone® treats and swag from our Buffalo team. Additional treats were sent back to the station for officers to take home for their own dogs. The facility plans to keep Manny and the team fully stocked on treats and is looking forward to growing together with this department, program and community!
