B&G Foods Sells Green Giant Frozen Line
Seneca Foods acquires US frozen vegetables business, including Yuma, Ariz., operations
B&G Foods, Inc. announced that it has sold its Green Giant US frozen vegetable product line to Seneca Foods Corporation.
B&G Foods previously sold the Green Giant US shelf-stable vegetable product line to Seneca Foods in November 2023 and the Le Sueur US shelf-stable vegetable product line to McCall Farms in August 2025. In addition, in October 2025, B&G Foods entered into an agreement to sell the Green Giant and Le Sieur frozen and shelf-stable vegetable product lines in Canada to Nortera Foods. B&G Foods expects that sale to close during the second quarter of 2026, subject to regulatory approval in Canada and the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.
The sale includes B&G Foods’ frozen vegetable manufacturing operations in Yuma, Ariz. B&G Foods will maintain its frozen vegetable manufacturing operations in Irapuato, Mexico and has entered into a co-pack agreement with Seneca Foods pursuant to which B&G Foods will continue to produce certain Green Giant frozen products for Seneca Foods.
B&G Foods intends to use the proceeds from the sale for general corporate purposes, including the repayment of long-term debt and the purchase of assets useful in B&G Foods’ business, and to pay taxes, fees and expenses related to the sale.
The terms of the transaction were not disclosed. Barclays Capital Inc. and Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. acted as financial advisors to B&G Foods.
