Food Processing

Beyond Delicious

Our frozen and processed foods can be enjoyed anytime, anywhere: breakfast, lunch, dinner, or even the occasional midnight snack. Our bestsellers, such as fish sausage and canned salmon, run the gamut of delicious seafood and fresh foods. But we pride ourselves on doing more. So we develop new products that respond to the needs of society: nursing care food, pet foods, supplements, and space food that all come from sustainable sources. And we’re always innovating with advanced freezing technology that seals in freshness for longer periods of time.
