Come with us on a commodity adventure! We help school food service programs turn raw ingredients into nutritious, affordable, and popular food products that students will love!
As a USDA nationally approved processor, National Food Group helps make the commodity diversion process simple. We’ll help you maximize your entitlement dollars and turn your commodities into Zee Zees and other great items. Feel good about feeding your students with the best food at the best value.
We work closely with K-12 schools to help them navigate the Commodity Processing process, set up appropriate contracts and fulfill them by manufacturing and delivering single-serving products to be used in food service programs. We value our role in contributing to better quality and more wholesome menu options for the nation’s children while helping school districts realize substantial savings.
