History

The company was established in 1935 as Hostess Food Products by Edward Snyder when he began cooking chips on his mother's kitchen stove in Breslau, outside Kitchener, Ontario. Snyder later sold the Hostess to E.W. Vanstone in 1954 which in turn selling the business to General Foods in 1959.

A partnership to distribute snack foods developed between Hostess Food Products and PepsiCo-owned Frito-Lay in 1987 and the merger was completed in 1988. The new organization became the Hostess Frito-Lay Company. In 1992, PepsiCo acquired the joint venture by buying out General Foods' remaining interest, but retained the Hostess Frito-Lay name. In 2002, Hostess Frito-Lay was renamed to Frito-Lay Canada, Inc..
