About Lake Erie Frozen Foods Co
Lake Erie Frozen Foods was founded in 1961 in Ashland, Ohio, about 60 miles south of Cleveland. The business has been family-owned and operated for more than 20 years, building a reputation around frozen appetizers for the restaurant and retail food sectors. The company runs a 20,000-square-foot processing facility, half of which is USDA-inspected and equipped with two full stainless steel production lines. Daily output reaches roughly 20,000 pounds per shift, with sanitation managed to USDA and AIB standards. The product catalog spans approximately 100 items and package sizes, including breaded and battered specialties and a newer USDA-produced line featuring Reuben Bites, Philly Steak Bites, and Pizza Bites. Custom coating and packing services are offered for restaurant chains. Lake Erie Frozen Foods sells through more than 250 distributors — among them Sysco, US Foods, Bellisimo, Unipro, PFG, and Nugget Houses — covering the 48 contiguous states, Canada, and Europe. Customers include both food-service operators and retail buyers, and the company works directly with chains to develop proprietary appetizer programs. The firm emphasizes premium ingredients and consistent finished-product quality as the foundation of its reputation, and it highlights its ability to develop custom coated and packed appetizers as a key differentiator.
