Early Frozen Food History

The almost limitless forms of frozen foods are a part of our daily diet. Little thought is generally given to the complexities involved in their processing and marketing or to the difficulties that beset the industry during its developmental years.

Successful launching of the frozen food industry required not only the development of appropriate freezing equipment and processing procedures, but also the development of varieties of raw products specifically suited to freezing, packaging materials, facilities for handling, storing, transporting, and displaying frozen foods, a product line of sufficient depth to meet the desires of most consumers, and finally, favorable consumer attitudes, all of which had to happen at the same time.

Hard to believe it even happened, but it did. This week a look at the early history of frozen food.
