About Onofrio's Ultimate Foods LLC

Onofrio's Ultimate Foods operates from a facility on Wheeler Street in New Haven, Connecticut. The company was established in 2004 as a family-owned venture by partners Richard Onofrio, Vincent Onofrio, and Edward Onofrio, who carried forward a food-service legacy that began at the family's grocery store in 1923. The business functions as a contract packer and co-manufacturer, offering private-label food packing, co-packing, food bottling, sauce and marinade bottling, and full-scale food manufacturing. Its plant houses kettles ranging from 50 to 1,000 gallons, automated filler funnels, capping and labeling systems, heat shrink-wrap sealing, laser imprinting for expiration dates and lot codes, a LOCK multi-metal detection system, and large-capacity washing and sterilization equipment. Production runs start at a minimum of 100 cases, with packaging options including glass bottles (8–128 oz), hot-fill plastic bottles (8–128 oz), and sealed pouches (8–128 oz). A production manager and an R&D specialist, each with over 25 years of experience, oversee quality assurance and product development. Clients range from startup entrepreneurs to established corporate and institutional brands, including nationally recognized names that remain confidential. The company serves the food-service, specialty-food, organic, and natural-products sectors, providing certified packing for Kosher, gluten-free, non-GMO, and organic specifications. Onofrio's differentiates itself by not marketing any products under its own label, so client formulations receive undivided attention. The family-owned structure is cited as a guarantee of consistent quality and discretion, and the firm emphasizes end-to-end guidance from recipe development through distribution.
