Packaged frozen food wholesalers purchase frozen food products — including meats, poultry, seafood, vegetables, juices, and baked goods — from producers or processors and redistribute them to retailers, foodservice operators, institutions, and other commercial buyers. Operations typically center on temperature-controlled warehouse facilities and involve receiving, storing, and outbound shipping of frozen product, often using a mix of owned refrigerated vehicles and third-party carriers.
Questions to investigate
- What product categories are distributed — vegetables, meats, poultry, seafood, prepared foods, or a mix?
- Does the operation own or lease refrigerated trucks, or rely primarily on third-party carriers?
- Are any products stored for third-party accounts under warehouse or bailee arrangements?
- What is the age and maintenance history of the primary refrigeration systems?
