Quality Assurance Technician -3rd Shift

At Yellowbird Foods, we started with one simple question: why are so many food products packed with overwhelming amounts of sugar, salt, and chemical preservatives when you can create delicious food directly from plants!? We decided to take it back to the basics and create a totally plant–based line of deliciously spicy condiments with the purpose of allowing people to eat more, not less, of the traditional dishes they love, while feeling great about the health, sustainability, and benefits of plant–based food. Our goal is to bring exciting change to the plate and beyond!

Our products are currently sold in 3,000 natural and traditional grocery stores nationwide, and we are growing by leaps and bounds in the foodservice area as well. Join our team and help us spread the word about the Bird!
