Dairy giant Chobani has announced its acquisition of Daily Harvest, a plant-based start-up that delivers a range of frozen ready meals, smoothies, snacks and protein products.

Chobani, headquartered in the US and best known for its Greek-style yogurts, confirmed its purchase of the plant-based meal company for an undisclosed sum on Friday 16 May 2025.

The transaction marks Chobani’s entry into the ready-to-make meals category, with Daily Harvest set to join the group’s existing portfolio of yogurts, creamers and RTD coffee products.

Daily Harvest was founded in New York in 2015 by Rachel Drori, as a direct-to-consumer frozen meal delivery service providing plant-based, healthy convenience options to consumers in the US. The company aims to help build a better food system by improving access to organic, fruit and vegetable-led meals.

In a statement, Daily Harvest described its acquisition by Chobani as a ‘natural next step,’ adding that both companies’ missions and values align with a commitment to ‘nourishing people, uplifting communities and using business as a force for good’.

Daily Harvest’s statement confirmed that the company’s website, products and team would remain the same under the acquisition, while opening up opportunities for new innovations and ideas as part of the Chobani family.

In a statement on LinkedIn, Chobani’s CEO and founder, Hamdi Ulukaya, said: “When you bring together bold ideas, good people and a belief in better – you create something powerful. We both believe food can change lives. Now we get to do it together.”

This latest announcement follows Chobani’s acquisition of US coffee company La Colombe, for $900 million, in 2023.
