The new products are scheduled for launch in June, upon completion of a new skillet-meal production facility.

The 230,000-sq-ft facility is being built adjacent to the company’s 370,000-sq-ft production plant. When completed, the facility will house preparation, blending, custom deposits, and freezing systems for co-packing private-label and national brands.
