Our story

A Leading Snack Food Manufacturer in the UAE Since 1981

What began as a single baking line in Dubai in 1981 is now one of the UAE's best-known local snack brands. Papy Snacks came off that first line. Dubai Pofak and Chipstix followed in 1984, and our newest flavours keep arriving today.

Modernfood is part of the HBAS Group of Industries, a diversified Emirati group active across the UAE since 1966. We still work to the recipes we have used for decades, with modern food technology and certified quality standards behind every bag.
