About the Company

Gold Star Foods

Gold Star Foods Inc. "Gold Star Foods" began operations in 1966 as a distributor of meat products primarily to coffee shops in the Los Angeles area. "Gold Star Meat Company", a family owned business, was purchased in 1978 and under new ownership the focus of the business shifted from restaurants to Southern California School Districts. To better reflect the image of a changing inventory, the name was changed to "Gold Star Foods" in 1983 and most recently to "Gold Star Foods Inc". Since 1978, Gold Star Foods customer base has grown to over 300 school districts throughout the Southwest. As a result of our commitment to excellence, we have been recognized nationwide by the United States Department of Agriculture and the American School Food Service Association as one of the outstanding food service distributors to school districts.

A leader in the provision of School Nutrition Food and Supplies, Gold Star is widely considered one of the United States' premier processed commodity distributors. Our founder's vision became a system where school food operations can order and use commodities just like commercial products. The result? The children have products that are appetizing and the districts can utilize government subsidies. Gold Star Commodity Programs have grown to supply all items used in school meal programs:

Frozen
Grocery
Fresh and Frozen Bread
