American Quality Foods is
relentlessly dedicated to creating the best tasting specialty dessert mixes for
foodservice professionals. Founded in 1994 with only three employees, American
Quality Foods has grown into a multimillion-dollar operation near Asheville,
North Carolina, now with a staff of over 50 employees.
The purpose of American Quality Foods is to fill a need for
nursing home diabetics who had very few options for delicious-tasting, diet
desserts. Our uncompromising commitment to quality, coupled with a Research
& Development team experienced in polymer chemistry and food science, has
led the creation of over 70 of our own exclusive recipes for scrumptious
dietetic desserts. Offerings include sugar free, no-sugar added, fat-free and
other dietetic versions of drinks, gelatins, cakes, cheesecakes, cookies,
brownies, puddings, mousse, and more.
What customers say they love about American Quality Foods is…
- Our wide variety of products and
flavors
- Flexibility of order size, from
single units to assorted cases
- Our super-personable &
reliable Customer Service team.
After outgrowing two buildings in our early years, American
Quality Foods now
operates out of a modern
34,000 square-foot manufacturing facility and office, with a separate
warehouse/distribution center located nearby.
In October 2022, our parent
company (Dover Foods) was purchased by TVS, Inc., an award-winning,
not-for-profit, contract manufacturer located only 10 miles from our facility
here in western North Carolina. They focus on manufacturing dry food products
for government agencies, as well as dietary supplements for premium brands in
the natural/wellness industry. Importantly, TVS embraces a mission of workplace
inclusivity, specifically focused on providing meaningful employment to people
with intellectual and physical disabilities and other barriers to employment.

After seeing great synergy between the manufacturing expertise,
commitment to quality, and leadership of the two organizations, TVS purchased
Dover Foods/AQF with the intention of growing our presence in the foodservice,
healthcare and senior living dining channels, as well as furthering the mission
of fostering an inclusive work environment at our facility. Since
the purchase, TVS has invested heavily in our business, tripling our
production capacity, by adding state-of-the-art blending and packaging
equipment, new processes, and an expanded production schedule. The sales,
packaging and distribution operations are all located in the scenic town of
Mills River, North Carolina.
