The #1 organic baby food brand in the United States, founded by Shazi Visram in 2006. Happy Family Organics creates nutrient-rich, organic meals and snacks for babies, toddlers, and kids, supporting healthy growth and development from the first bite.
The Story
Happy Family Organics is the #1 organic baby food brand in the United States, founded by Shazi Visram in 2006 from her New York City kitchen. What began as homemade recipes and a mission to democratize organic nutrition for families grew into a global powerhouse with more than 100 products sold in 34 countries.
In 2013, Visram sold a 92% stake in the company to Groupe Danone, a strategic alliance that accelerated distribution and innovation while maintaining the brand's commitment to organic, non-GMO ingredients. During her tenure as CEO, Visram was recognized by President Barack Obama as an outstanding businesswoman and leader, and the company received numerous awards for its nutritional philosophy and product quality.
The brand's portfolio spans organic baby food pouches, snacks, cereals, and toddler meals, all crafted with clean ingredients and rigorous safety standards. Happy Family Organics became a trusted name among parents seeking nutritious, convenient options for infants and toddlers, and its products are now available in major retailers across North America and internationally.
Today, the company continues to evolve under Danone's ownership, maintaining its core mission of providing accessible organic nutrition while expanding into new categories and markets. Shazi Visram remains connected to the brand as ChairMom of the Board, guiding its vision while pursuing new ventures in maternal and infant health through HealthyBaby.
