About Ragozzino Foods Inc
Ragozzino Foods Inc. was founded in 1952 in Meriden, Connecticut, by Joe and Anna Ragozzino, who turned a family recipe for spaghetti sauce into a commercial venture after a salesman challenged them to produce a better product. The business remains family‑owned and is certified as a woman‑owned enterprise, now led by the second and third generations of the Ragozzino family. The company operates two SQF Level 2‑certified, FDA‑ and USDA‑inspected manufacturing facilities on a single campus totaling more than 64,000 square feet. Its equipment lineup includes steam‑jacketed kettles, pasta extruders and sheeters, cryovac form‑fill‑seal machines, spiral freezers, tube‑in‑tube heat exchangers, and high‑pressure processing (HPP) for refrigerated pouch items. An in‑house laboratory supports expedited sampling of raw materials and finished goods. Ragozzino produces a range of Italian and American cuisine — pastas, soups and sauces, entrees and side dishes, and spreads and dips — for both its own brand and custom private‑label programs. The company’s R&D team, which includes a certified Research Chefs Association executive chef, works with clients to develop new products and adapt existing recipes for large‑scale production. The Ragozzino difference is rooted in a family tradition of using the freshest ingredients and maintaining exacting preparation standards. The founders’ original insistence on quality over convenience continues to guide the company’s approach to food safety, ingredient sourcing, and customer satisfaction.
