About JSF
The Company
John Soules Foods, Inc. started in 1975 from a 2000 square foot building near Tyler, Texas. In May 1996, we moved production into our new 83,000 square foot USDA Inspected meat processing facility.
In 1999, we added 25,000 square feet to support new cooked meat production lines as the industry expanded into fully cooked products.
By June 2006, we completed construction which expanded our production facility to over 250,000 square feet. This high volume state-of-the-art facility allows us to produce the highest quality and safest food products on the market today.

The John Soules Foods Research and Development Department is comprised of the Corporate Executive Chef and Sr. Food Scientist. Their combined experience allows customers to create proprietary items as well as matching existing items. The R&D department has a broad knowledge of flavors and functional ingredients to provide rapid turnaround on both flavor and product functionality to meet specific client needs. Strong relationships with the nations leading spice blending and functional ingredient companies, allow for open access to new ingredients, ingredient formulation and new ingredient technology, for revisions or new concepts to be produced in a timely and cost effective manor.
In 2006, a new R&D facility was incorporated into the plant expansion, allowing new equipment to be

With the current equipment utilized in the R&D department, approximately 90% of John Soules Foods production can be mimicked in an isolated environment to ensure new product quality and safety. Good working relationships with production floor managers and employees ensure the ease of testing new products in actual production equipment, as well as ensuring seamless transition into the production process.
