Safe Food Corporation

What Safe Food Corporation does

Safe Food Corporation is a US-based food importer and distributor of dried fruits and pickled peppers, headquartered in Edgewater, NJ. Incorporated in 2003, it operates as the dedicated North American sales and marketing arm of KFC Gida A.S., a privately held specialty food and dried fruits packer based in Izmir, Turkey. The company sources Mediterranean produce — including dried figs, apricots, dates, raisins/sultanas, mulberries, tart cherries, and sun-dried tomatoes, along with pepperoncini, jalapeno, and banana peppers — and brings them to the US and Canadian markets through a 'From the field to the table service' model that handles USDA-FDA compliance, extended payment terms, and local delivery. Products are produced using traditional sun-drying methods followed by cold storage to enable year-round availability with consistent quality.

The company's product portfolio spans multiple SKUs across formats (organic, conventional, sliced, whole, paste, powder) and packaging types (pillow pack, doypack, pails, glass jars, drums, bulk cartons). It operates two consumer sub-brands — Sunsational Fruits and Sunny Fruit — alongside a private-label business that the company describes as a 'large part' of its operations. Five national distribution centers in Southern California, Central Florida, NY/NJ, Texas, and Eastern Canada enable 2-5 day delivery throughout the continental US and Canada.

Revenue is generated through private-label arrangements, origin packer/importer services, and yearly national programs with fixed pricing and built-in-country inventory. The customer base is split between private label retailers, food distributors, and food service companies. The company is pursuing CTPAT certification to strengthen supply-chain security credentials. It is a privately held subsidiary with no external institutional investors, no disclosed funding rounds, no public revenue figures, and no AI/ML capabilities evident in the available data.
