The maker.
Founded by Uche Jumbo
Uche Jumbo is the founder of CHOPUTA.
Uche Jumbo built CHOPUTA around a grain she wanted more people to know: fonio. In a 2026 founder interview, she described bringing her experience in food quality and regulatory work to a breakfast business centered on this West African staple. The idea was not simply to introduce an unfamiliar ingredient, but to make it practical for an everyday morning. CHOPUTA’s answer is a single-serve hot cereal prepared with hot water. Its range includes Maple Bliss Burst, Spice Kissed Apple and Wild Berry Power, with a two-cup Comfort Set for trying the maple and apple flavors. The company describes the cereals as gluten-free and dairy-free, and says its fonio comes from West Africa. That connection to the grain’s origins remains part of the brand’s story, alongside the convenience of a cup that can be prepared in minutes.
