We're delighted to introduce Pan's Mushroom Jerky, born from a family recipe discovered in Malaysia in 2006 and lovingly brought to the world by Michael Pan from his kitchen in the Pacific Northwest. Launched in 2018 in Portland, Oregon, Pan's Mushroom Jerky is now available in over 2,500 stores across the United States.

Made with shiitake mushrooms, decades of family tradition, and a snack that's as satisfying as it is delicious, Pan's Mushroom Jerky brings a meaningful piece of the Pan family story to snack bags everywhere.

It All Started In Malaysia In 2006

It all started during a trip to Malaysia in 2006, when Michael Pan visited family he hadn't seen in years. Many of his family members are vegetarian Buddhists who shared wonderful vegetarian dishes, many featuring mushrooms that were not only delicious but satisfying and healthy.

When Michael tried a particular snack made of shiitake mushrooms, he knew he had something to share with the world. This moment of discovery in a family kitchen halfway around the world became the spark for everything Pan's Mushroom Jerky stands for.

A Window Into Southeast Asian Culinary Heritage

Traveling to Malaysia gave Michael the opportunity to discover family history and traditions, which of course includes food. The trip opened his eyes to an incredible culture in Southeast Asia that has been using innovative ingredients and cooking techniques to create satisfying and delicious foods for generations.

That deep respect for culinary heritage is woven into every flavor Pan's Mushroom Jerky creates. The result is a snack that feels modern while staying connected to the food traditions that inspired it.

From Malaysia To The Pacific Northwest

Back home, while working full time as an engineer, Michael's enthusiasm for developing the product never waned. For months he developed, tested, and iterated on his family recipe from his kitchen in the Pacific Northwest.

That methodical engineer's approach to perfecting a beloved family recipe ensured that when Pan's Mushroom Jerky finally launched, it was exactly right. The dedication to getting it right before sharing it with the world is part of the foundation of Pan's quality.

Launched In 2018, Now In 2,500+ Stores

In 2018, Michael officially launched Pan's Mushroom Jerky in four delicious flavors, all inspired by his family's original recipe. Today, Pan's Mushroom Jerky is produced in Portland, Oregon and is available in over 2,500 stores in the United States.

From a family kitchen in Malaysia to kitchens and snack bags across America, this growth reflects the universal appeal of a snack that is genuinely satisfying, rooted in real culinary tradition, and made to be enjoyed.

A Snack From My Family To Yours

“We are so grateful for all of the support we've received, and we hope you fall in love with this tasty snack just as I did! From my family to yours, Michael Pan & The Pan Family.”

This heartfelt message captures everything Pan's Mushroom Jerky is: a family gift to the world, wrapped in shiitake mushrooms and decades of tradition.
