GoodLife Foods

Leading European manufacturer of frozen snacks

Headquartered in Breda, the Netherlands, GoodLife Foods (“GoodLife” or “the Company”) is a leading European manufacturer of frozen snacks and meal components such as spring rolls, appetisers, burgers as well as cheese and vegetable bites. The Company has a broad portfolio of branded and private label products which it sells to customers within the Retail, Foodservice and Industrial sectors across Europe.
