Refrigerated & Frozen Foods checks the pulse of the cold processing and manufacturing industry and its annual ranking of the largest frozen food companies in the U.S.

Momentum for refrigerated and fresh foods continue to grow, with categories increasingly appearing in center aisles and appealing to convenience and health minded consumers.

Consumers continue to turn to frozen foods for convenience, nutrition and value.

As cold foods processors continue to implement sustainability goals and initiatives into their business plans, going green means everything from what the food is made with to how it’s packaged for consumer consumption.

While frozen food sales didn’t post the double-digit gains seen during 2020, at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, changing consumer tastes and perceptions look to shape the industry in 2022.

Last year saw sales of refrigerated foods drifting back closer to normal after a pandemic-fueled peak in 2020.

Editor-in-Chief Michael Costa explains how the perception of frozen foods changed in 2020.

Refrigerated & Frozen Foods ranks the Top 25 frozen foods processors in each of the six major product categories, plus company news and achievements in 2020. 

The headline for last year’s Top 25 Refrigerated Foods Processors Report read, “Refrigerated Foods to Reign Supreme in 2020”. In no other year than 2020 could a headline that bold be an understatement.
