Odwalla

Odwalla Inc. (/oʊˈdwɔːlə/) is an American health food company based in Dinuba, California. Founded in Santa Cruz, California in 1980 Formerly headquartered from 1995 to 2020 in Half Moon Bay, California, the company's product lines include fruit juices, smoothies, soy milk, bottled water, organic beverages, and several types of energy bars, known as "food bars".

The company experienced strong growth after its incorporation in 1985, expanding its distribution network from California to most of North America, and went public in 1993.

A period of decline occurred as the result of a fatal outbreak of E. coli O157:H7 in 1996 that was caused by using bruised fruit that had been contaminated. Odwalla originally sold unpasteurized juices, to avoid altering the flavor of its juices through pasteurization. Following the E. coli outbreak and the death of at least one child, Odwalla adopted flash pasteurization and other sanitization procedures. Odwalla recalled its juices and experienced a 90% reduction in sales following the event. The company gradually recovered and, the following year, became profitable again.

In 2001, Odwalla was acquired by The Coca-Cola Company for US$181 million and became a wholly owned subsidiary. In July 2020, Coca-Cola announced it would discontinue the Odwalla brand by August 2020. The brand was sold to Full Sail IP Partners in 2021. Its headquarters was relocated to its production facility some time in the early 2020s.
