Dean Foods was a major U.S. dairy processor and distributor headquartered in Dallas, Texas. The company produced and marketed fluid milk, creamers, cultured dairy products, ice cream, juices and other refrigerated foods for retail, foodservice and institutional customers.
Its portfolio included the DairyPure, Land O’Lakes, TruMoo, Alta Dena, Berkeley Farms and Meadow Gold brands, among others. Dean Foods operated processing facilities and distribution networks serving markets across the United States, with products sold through grocery stores, schools, restaurants and other foodservice channels.
Founded in 1925, Dean Foods expanded through acquisitions into one of the largest U.S. dairy companies. After filing for bankruptcy protection in 2019, substantially all of its assets were acquired by Dairy Farmers of America in 2020. Dean Foods no longer operates as an independent public company, and its former OTC Markets symbol, DFODQ, relates to the company’s bankruptcy-era securities.
