Specialty Foods Processing & Packaging

Specialty Foods Processing & Packaging covers a large and growing range of products, processes and packaging options. Due to an increased demand for healthy food in recent years, organic foods are growing in popularity. Interest in international/ethnic foods and other specialty foods are additional trends. Targets in this cluster include not only production facilities but also food industry supply chain vendors and suppliers.

Both domestic and international food manufacturers have found Greater Richmond to be an advantageous location for production of a wide variety of products. Firms in this cluster include Kraft (crackers and cookies), Tyson Foods (poultry products), Maruchan (noodle soups), San J (soy sauce), Fiorucci (Italian meat specialties), Sauer’s (spices) and, most recently, Sabra Dipping Company (hummus and dips).
