About Maya
Our Heritage
Maya was founded as Maya Spice of Life Jerusalem in 1982.
Three young friends, newly-released from the IDF, Moishe, Israel and Udi, established a small factory in Jerusalem’s Givat Shaul neighborhood. They had just one food packing machine for powdered spices. They decided to call the company MAYA, an acronym for their three Hebrew names.
In 1998, Maya moved to the industrial zone of Mishor Adumim, today housing production plants, distribution warehouses and the management staff. In 2010, the company changed its official name to ‘Maya Food Industries’

Therefore they have undertaken the task of providing as many products as possible for celiac sufferers. MAYA now produces gluten-free products. Unlike most of our competitors who vaguely state “may contain gluten” maya produces in a completely separate operational and logistical factory.

Maya’s roots are firmly planted in the land of Israel. Most of its products are made in Israel at one big site. It is the only company in Israel that produces soft jelly and hard-boiled candies with high quality vitamin supplements, produced to optimum quality that allows most of the production to be exported.
