A packer, not a brand.
Fennfield has made food to retailer specification since 1987, from one site in Lincolnshire. Six production lines, 18,000 tonnes a year, and nothing of our own on any shelf. We do not sell to the public.
Line 3, chilled. Prepared vegetables filling to weight into retail trays.
