Rastelli Foods Group has transformed itself as the go-to protein processor in the e-commerce (and home-shopping) segment, all while building its retail brand and growing its legacy retail, foodservice and export businesses.
Based on the success Rastelli Foods Group has experienced in the last year, the protein processor has been named The National Provisioner's 2018 Processor of the Year.
For the fourth year, The National Provisioner has had a bevy of top-notch options for voters in its annual Plant of the Year competition — all the processing facilities that our editorial staff visited for cover stories from June 2014 through May 2015 were nominated.
Rastelli Foods has built itself into a protein-processing, e-commerce and global-export powerhouse, and has now added specialty-retail operations to its portfolio.
Forty years ago, Ray Rastelli purchased a small butcher shop in South Jersey, brought his brother, Tony, into the business, and began growing their meat-cutting operation to serve local customers and restaurants in the region.
