Mission Foods was founded as a subsidiary of Grupo Maseca in California in 1977 as a brand name to sell the company's tortillas in the American marketplace. It is one of the world's largest producers of flatbread, tortilla and corn flour products with factories in North and Central America, Europe, Asia and Australia.[1] A tortilla manufacturing plant was opened in Dallas in 1982. Mission Foods launched the Mission brand in Australia in 2009 with a plant located in Epping, Victoria.
