CP picked to pack premium shrimp products for North America
Boston-based upscale restaurant chain Legal Sea Foods (LSF) has selected Charoen Pokphand Foods (CP Foods) to co-pack premium shrimp products for distribution in North America, according to company reports on Monday.
Roger Berkowitz, chief executive officer of Legal Sea Foods, and Dr Sujint Thammasart, chief operating officer of Aquaculture Business Unit of CP Foods, said it was a proud moment for both companies to jointly introduce premium quality seafood, under the Legal Sea Foods brand, to North American consumers.
Within the partnership, CP Foods will produce numerous fresh-frozen and high quality items with shrimp sourced from its biosecure aquaculture farms.
The products will be distributed under the Legal Sea Foods brand, and will be launched this week at the Boston Seafood Show 2019, the largest Seafood exposition in North America.
Thousands of buyers and suppliers from around the world attend the three-day exposition to meet, network and do business. Attending buyers represent importers, exporters, wholesalers, restaurants, supermarkets, hotels, and other retail and foodservice companies.
