One of our most popular products is individually quick frozen (IQF) poultry. These include precision hand-sized portions and tenders (fresh, marinated, IF, and flat-pack frozen), strips and nuggets (fresh and marinated), and mechanically sized portions and cutlets. Our services/solutions include front half deboning (FHD) and whole chicken (WOG) deboning. FHD removes the breast meat, tenderloin meat, and wings from the frame.
