Situated at booth 230, the company showcased its diverse portfolio of fresh, ready-to-eat meals, salads, and snacks, underscoring why it continues to be a leader in the fresh food industry.
Known for its culinary-driven approach, FiveStar Gourmet Foods has been at the forefront of revolutionizing large-scale food preparation and distribution since its founding in 1998. Their signature “Simply Fresh” line, a testament to their dedication to flavor and nutrition, resonated strongly with visitors eager to learn about trend-forward, better-for-you food solutions.

Their focus on fresh, high-quality ingredients stood out in an event filled with over 400 exhibitors, demonstrating the company’s commitment to improving the quality of life for its customers.
One of FiveStar’s most notable features is its dedication to sustainability and environmental responsibility. Attendees at the show were introduced to the company’s innovative packaging, crafted from recycled plastic water bottles.
FiveStar has successfully removed the equivalent of over 63 million plastic bottles from circulation through this initiative, a significant milestone in their consistent efforts to reduce waste.
Beyond sustainability, FiveStar ensures quality by employing a robust Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points (HACCP) system to uphold food safety.
Their Quality Assurance team works tirelessly to maintain compliance, undergoing rigorous third-party audits that consistently rank them among the top 1% of food producers in the United States. This level of diligence was a talking point for many visitors, eager to understand how the brand achieves such high standards.
FiveStar’s culinary expertise is the driving force behind its success, elevating every product with unparalleled attention to detail.
At the core of their operations is a team of Certified Executive Chefs, research experts, and registered dietitians who passionately craft recipes that balance flavor, nutrition, and innovation. From freshly chopped vegetables to handcrafted dressings, every element of their meals is designed to deliver a nourishing and satisfying experience, setting them apart in a competitive market.
Their farm-to-table philosophy also struck a chord with attendees. By sourcing fresh, seasonal produce from local growers on both coasts, FiveStar Gourmet Foods ensures the highest quality ingredients are used in their salads, entrées, and snacks.
This approach not only supports sustainable farming practices but also reduces the environmental footprint associated with transportation.
