Since our founding in 1997, we have strived to lead by example, embodying values that resonate with our customers, employees, and the broader community. Our commitment to corporate responsibility spans several key areas: food safety, community contributions, and environmental stewardship. These principles not only define us as a company but also strengthen our business strategy and daily operations.

At Reichel Foods, food safety is more than a requirement; it is a cornerstone of our identity. We employ rigorous safety standards and cutting-edge technology to ensure that every product we deliver meets the highest quality benchmarks. From fresh-cut produce to our innovative snack solutions like Dippin’ Stix and PRO2snax, we take pride in providing safe, healthy, and nutritious options.

Contributions to the Community
As an integral part of the communities we serve, Reichel Foods is committed to giving back. Whether through partnerships with local organizations, donations to food banks, or supporting educational initiatives, we aim to make a positive impact.
We believe in empowering individuals and families by providing access to fresh, nutritious snacks that fit into their busy lives. Each year, we donate around 100,000 trays of Dippin’ Stix and PRO2snax to help strengthen our local area. Beyond food, our efforts in community support reflect our belief that a strong, vibrant community benefits everyone.
Sustainability
Sustainability is a key pillar of our corporate responsibility. We are committed to protecting the planet by reducing our environmental footprint through recyclable packaging, energy-efficient supply chain practices, and resource conservation.
Our Efforts
We focus on reducing waste, supporting sustainable agriculture, and exploring renewable energy. Our master production scheduling system improves efficiency, reduces utility consumption, and lowers operating costs. Each year, we recycle 186 tons of plastic and corrugated materials, further minimizing waste.
Innovative Packaging Solutions
Our packaging is 100% recyclable, reducing environmental impact after use. By introducing a 12-count shipper that doubles as a display carton, we cut packaging waste by 30% and save 6% in transportation fuel. While food safety requirements limit some options, we prioritize recycled materials wherever possible.
Reichel Foods is dedicated to delivering sustainable, high-quality products that benefit both our customers and the planet.
At Reichel Foods, we see our corporate responsibility efforts as integral to our overall business strategy. These commitments enhance our day-to-day operations, foster trust with our stakeholders, and inspire loyalty among our customers. By balancing innovation with responsibility, we not only strengthen our company but also contribute to a healthier, more sustainable future.
Looking Ahead
As we move forward, Reichel Foods will continue to build on our commitments to food safety, community engagement, environmental stewardship, and ethical business practices. These priorities are not just goals but responsibilities we carry with pride. Together with our employees, partners, and customers, we’re working to make a difference in the lives we touch and the world we share.
Being a responsible business is a continuous journey. At Reichel Foods, we’re proud of the progress we’ve made and remain steadfast in our commitment to doing what’s right—for today and tomorrow.
