Préval AG buys fresh meat provider J&G Foods

Canadian agri-food company Préval AG has acquired fresh meat provider J&G Foods, which specialises in organic and natural meats. 

Préval AG is owned and operated by the Québec-based Fontaine family and claims it controls food production “from farm to fork”. 

The company has more than 1,400 employees throughout Canada, the US and South America.

Based in Sutton, Massachusetts, J&G Foods markets meats including portioned organic and grass-fed beef, organic and natural chicken, natural pork and beef, and a variety of “marinated and value-added meats”.

Préval AG president and founder, Fabien Fontaine, said: “We are excited to add what is now J&G 2021 to our diversified family of companies. J&G has a well-deserved reputation for quality meat products and great customer service”.

J&G will join Préval AG’s six other meat companies, including Montpak International in Canada and Catelli Brothers in the US. 

Terms of the transaction have not been disclosed.
