Pampanga Food

What Pampanga Food does

Pampanga Food Company is a privately held, family-owned manufacturer of premium frozen Filipino foods headquartered in Anaheim, California. Founded in 1984, the company produces a diversified portfolio of authentic Filipino frozen products under three sub-brands: PFC (covering longanisa, tocino, tapa, lumpia, siopao, and empanada varieties), Mister Swifts (hot dogs), and Cabalen (sweet sausage, pork tocino), plus a Señor Rey Chorizo de Bilbao line. Products span breakfast meats, egg rolls, steamed buns, pastries, chicharon, and marinated items, with package sizes ranging from 10oz to 36oz and retail pricing around $4.99 per 12oz unit on the Weee! platform.

The company sells through a multi-channel distribution network including major Asian supermarket chains (99 Ranch Market, Island Pacific Market), the online Asian grocery platform Weee!, wholesale distributors serving grocery stores and restaurants across the United States and select international markets, and direct-to-consumer e-commerce via its own website. It also offers custom food production services to wholesalers, distributors, caterers, and restaurants requiring recipes tailored to specification. Core technology is frozen food manufacturing and preservation, with proprietary recipe formulations passed down through generations serving as the primary product differentiator.

The business is bootstrapped with no disclosed external funding or parent company. Revenue is not publicly disclosed, and no management team, patents, awards, or certifications are reported. The company employs 51-100 people and serves Filipino-American households as its primary consumer segment, alongside grocery retailers, wholesalers, and food service operators as business customers.
