Machine Operator B

Sabra makes America’s most iconic and beloved hummus and a delicious range of plant-based dips and spreads. We are dedicated to uniting and delighting the world around planet-positive food.

Sabra was founded in 1986 in Astoria, Queens and is headquartered in White Plains, New York. On December 3, 2024, PepsiCo completed the buy-in of Sabra.  We are now a fully-owned operating unit of PepsiCo.  Sabra’s 500 team members proudly produce hummus in Chesterfield County, Virginia, taking great care to ensure the highest-quality hummus is ready to go home with you. From party time to snack time, Sabra is always a feel-good food.

Sustainability is in our roots. Sabra hummus is made with chickpeas grown on family-farms in the Pacific Northwest. The chickpea is not only a nutritional powerhouse but an agricultural treasure, pulling nitrogen from the atmosphere and depositing nutrients into the soil for future crops to consume, making the world a better place one chickpea at a time. Our commitment to the planet drives the ingredients we source, the products we produce, the choices we make and the way we engage with one another and with our community.

People are at the core of how we grow and create value; leading with diversity, equity and inclusion contributes directly to our shared success.
