Topco Associates

About

Topco Associates is a privately held US food cooperative whose roots lie in supplying private-label products to member food retailers.^[1] It began as Topco Associates, Inc. in December 1950 from the merger of Food Cooperatives, Inc. (formed by Wisconsin retailers in 1944) and Top Frost Foods, became Topco Associates LLC on merging with Shurfine International in 2001, and bought Western Family Foods in 2016.^[1] GLEIF records Topco Associates, LLC as a Delaware company (registration 3412563, created 2001-09-21) headquartered at 150 Northwest Point Boulevard, Elk Grove Village, Illinois; its LEI registration has lapsed.^[2] USDA FoodData Central names it brand owner of Food Club Ranch Dressing, UPC 036800182325; the GS1 company prefix 0036800 is recorded here on that basis, as no public GS1 lookup names the registrant.^[3]
