J.M. Smucker makes and sells packaged food and beverage products that reach households through grocery stores, club and discount chains, online retailers, pharmacies, military commissaries and mass merchandisers, among other outlets. Its offerings span coffee in roast, ground, single-serve and premium forms, peanut butter and fruit spreads, cooking oils and shortening, frozen sandwiches and snacks, and pet food and treats, along with hot beverages, portioned foodservice items and flour supplied to restaurants and institutions.
