Clearwater’s Yo Mama’s Foods to be featured on Good Morning America

| Jo-Lynn Brown

Yo Mama’s Foods, the Clearwater-based maker of clean-label pasta sauces, condiments and dressings, will be featured on ABC’s Good Morning America on July 3 during the “Deals & Steals” segment. The national recognition marks a milestone for the Florida-founded brand, which has grown from a kitchen-table startup into a product line now carried in more than 24,000 stores nationwide.

Clearwater’s Yo Mama’s Foods named No. 2 on Instacart’s Fastest-Growing Brands list

Founded in 2017 by David Habib, the brand was born out of a desire to recreate the warmth and authenticity of family dinners.

“Food, to me, wasn’t only about eating; it became almost a language,” said Habib. “I was so interested in the connection and the ability of food to bring people around the table.”

As part of the Good Morning America segment, viewers will be able to purchase Yo Mama’s Foods at an exclusive discount.
