The Fernando's brand is one of the original foodservice, frozen Mexican brands and dates back to 1982. With a full line of authentic Mexican entrees and appetizers ready to heat and serve, Fernando's provides food service operators with a wide selection of hand-held, frozen Mexican items. From hand-rolled burritos to taquitos, mini-tacos and enchiladas, Fernando's products offer high-quality, convenient options for foodservice operators offering premium Mexican menu items to their customers. El Extremo is also a foodservice, frozen Mexican brand and serves the school-lunch program distribution channel.
"This acquisition is a strategic fit for Foster Farms," said Ron Foster, Foster Farms' president and CEO, "and will give us capabilities to expand our current businesses in the foodservice, retail, and C-Store channels."
