Lake Country Foods is a contract manufacturer in the food and beverage sector, focusing on agglomeration and the conversion of grain-based ingredients into malted milk, instant beverage mixes, confectionery items, and dried toppings. Its Oconomowoc, Wisconsin facility has a history of product development and distribution, dating back to its Carnation plant origins and contributing to the early production of instant milk, Coffee-Mate, Instant Breakfast, and Hot Cocoa mix. The site has historically produced malted milk and has operated what was described as the only known continuous process for malted milk in North America. In the market, the company provides blending, agglomeration, and packaging services for manufacturers of dry powder, sports nutrition, general nutrition, and meal replacement beverages. In May 2018, Tipton Mills Foods, LLC acquired Lake Country Foods, reflecting a change in ownership after prior reports in 2018 of workforce reductions and a temporary shutdown.
