Nominations are now open for Refrigerated & Frozen Foods’ 9th Annual Best New Retail Products Contest. Due to the popularity of last year’s competition with a record number of votes, we’ve split the contest into two this year: frozen foods in April, and refrigerated foods in August.
Consumer stockpiling during the pandemic, plus an increase in HPP product variety, combine for one of the most successful years in the refrigerated segment.
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.
We catch up with potato pioneers McCain Foods, our 2012 Frozen Foods Processor of the Year, to see how the company has evolved and expanded since then.
