Our Story

Hi there, my name is Toyin Kolawole, Founder and CEO of Iya Foods. I started Iya Foods because I love good food and enjoy creating new healthier ways to enjoy old favorites.

As a mum, nourishment became my #1 focus when I realized that so many companies produce foods they personally won’t eat because they know what they sell is unhealthy. Everything we make at Iya Foods is what my family also eats because I know and trust our ingredients.

I’d love for you to try our foods. Thank you for your support
