This strategic acquisition marks a significant pivot for Cal-Maine Foods as it seeks to diversify its business model and expand its footprint within the high-growth, “better-for-you” frozen breakfast category.

By integrating Wibholm’s deep industry knowledge with its existing infrastructure, Ardent Mills aims to strengthen its position as a leader in flour milling and functional plant-based solutions.

The expansion aims to modernize production, add packaging and distribution space, and enable new equipment installations to meet rising demand for its organic, long fermentation sourdough breads.

The rollout also includes updated packaging across the Chips Deluxe line to highlight the improved recipes and new flavor profiles.

The combined entity, which will retain the Central Valley Ag name, is scheduled to commence joint operations on June 1, 2026.
