Built in Durban, Grown Beyond Borders
JONDAY Foods began in Durban in 1985, shaped by family recipes, hands-on craftsmanship and a belief that familiar food should never feel ordinary. Our handmade samoosas became the foundation of the business, earning their place with customers through their distinctive pastry, generous fillings and dependable quality.Since then, JONDAY has continued developing beyond its original Samoosa range, developing a diverse portfolio of frozen products reaching customers across Southern Africa, North America, and Europe. Although our products and markets continue to evolve, we remain rooted in the traditions, care, and practical thinking that built the business.

How We Got Here
Our range and reach have grown. The care behind every product has remained.

A Family Kitchen in Durban
JONDAY Foods begins as a small operation making samoosas by hand for the local market.
1995
JONDAY Foods is Registered and Incorporated
What began in a family kitchen in 1985 becomes a formally registered company, giving JONDAY Foods the legal footing to grow into a wholesale food manufacturer.
1998
Our First Dedicated Manufacturing Facility
As demand grew, JONDAY expanded several times before purchasing and moving into its first dedicated manufacturing facility in Durban. The new space created the capacity to broaden our product range and serve more customers without compromising the standards on which the business was built.

Expansion to Canada
JONDAY crosses its first border, establishing distribution in Canada.
2015

JONDAY Enters the United States of America
JONDAY extends its distribution network into the United States, bringing its products to a third international market.
2027
The Next Chapter: United Kingdom

What Hasn’t Changed Since 1985
Our business has grown, but the principles behind every JONDAY product remain the same.
Consistency
Defined recipes and strict production standards help deliver dependable flavour, portioning, and preparation across every order.
Quality Control
Family Heritage
JONDAY remains a family business, and our sense of family extends beyond ownership. Some team members have been with JONDAY for more than 30 years, and That continuity carries decades of knowledge, care, and pride.
