Hunt's is the name of a brand of preserved tomato products owned by ConAgra Foods, Inc. It was founded as the Hunt Brothers Fruit Packing Company in 1890 in Santa Rosa, California by Joseph and William Hunt. This small canning operation grew rapidly, focused on canning the products of California's booming fruit and vegetable industries.

In 1943, Hunt's was taken over by Val Vita Food Products - a competing firm founded in the early 1930s, The merged firm kept the Hunt's name and incorporated as Hunt Foods, Inc. The new management decided to focus the company on canned tomato products, particularly prepared tomato sauce.
