LaFrieda Wholesale Meats, based in North Bergen, New Jersey, operates as a family‑owned meat purveyor within the food and beverage manufacturing sector. Over three generations, the business has supplied both small, independent retailers and major hospitality operators, including international hotel groups. In 2010 the company moved from Manhattan’s meatpacking district to a 34,000‑square‑foot facility in North Bergen, reflecting an expansion of its production capacity. The company offers a broad lineup of beef, veal, pork, lamb, poultry, and wild game, and specializes in customized blends of chopped beef created from whole-muscle cuts rather than trimmings. Its customer base spans mom‑and‑pop shops and large hospitality brands, with a focus on high‑quality, specialty meat products. In April 2024, LaFrieda Meat Co. announced a partnership with Mush Foods to develop a 50‑50 burger blend.
