**ABOUT TATE'S**

**The Tate's story began when 11-year-old Kathleen King started baking cookies to sell at her parents' farm stand in Southampton, N.Y. Kathleen's love of baking and dedication to quality made her crisp, buttery cookies legendary on Long Island's East End and were the inspiration for what eventually became Tate's Bake Shop.**

**While the Bake Shop itself is still a local favorite, Tate's cookies have won a loyal national following, delighting consumers for over 20 years. In 2018, Tate's Bake Shop was acquired by Mondel?z International and together with other recently acquired independent companies form what is known as the Mondelez Venture Companies with the shared purpose of leading the future of snacking and empowering people to snack right** **.**

**Tate's is one of the fastest growing biscuit brands in the U.S., known for its signature thin-and-crispy cookies with simple, authentic, and high-quality ingredients. Over the years, Tate's has exercised its innovative spirit, extending beyond traditional cookies and expanding its portfolio to include products that meet the needs and interests of consumers, including launching Vegan (2021), Gluten Free (2010), and seasonal, limited-edition flavors. Tate's Vegan Vanilla Maple Cookies received a PEOPLE Food Award for Best Plant-Based Cookie in 2022.**
