Alison Cayne, Founder of Haven's Kitchen, a brand that has had longevity in the better for you sauce category, has unfortunately ceased operations effective February 1st, 2025.Ali Cayne wrote on her Linkedin Post:

"This is a tough post to write. Haven’s Kitchen is ceasing operations today. There’s a lot I’d like to say, and a lot of thoughts that haven’t formed into coherent sentences yet. They will come.
