Caribbean Food Delights

What Caribbean Food Delights does

Caribbean Food Delights, Inc. (CFD) is a privately held, family-owned frozen food manufacturer founded in 1978 by Vincent and Jeanette HoSang in the Bronx, New York, and now headquartered at a 103,000 sq ft SQF Level 3 certified, USDA-supervised production facility in Tappan, NY. The company's core business is the manufacture of Jamaican-style patties across beef, chicken, vegetable, and plant-based (jackfruit) varieties, with production capacity exceeding 40,000 patties per hour and a labor force of approximately 150 employees at the Tappan site. CFD sells through a multi-channel go-to-market model spanning major US grocery chains (Walmart, HEB, Publix, Winn Dixie, Harris Teeter, ShopRite, Food Lion), warehouse club stores (Costco, Sam's Club, BJ's), foodservice distributors serving restaurants and institutions, military commissaries worldwide, and a direct-to-consumer e-commerce storefront on cfdnyinc.com with refrigerated shipping.

The product portfolio centers on frozen Jamaican patties in foodservice bulk cases (50-count unbaked), retail baked packs (12/10 and 12/2 configurations), and party-format cocktail patties (100-count unbaked), with wholesale case prices ranging from approximately $78 to $334 depending on SKU and format. The company has extended the core patty line into adjacent Caribbean pantry products including Dumpling Mix, Festival Mix, Jerk Hickory BBQ Sauce, and a four-pack Jamaican seasoning set, and has executed a 'No MSG' reformulation of the flagship Spicy Beef Patty. CFD is in its second generation of HoSang family ownership, holds no external institutional investment, and is currently operating with no disclosed funding rounds, acquisitions, or M&A activity in the input record.
