Genuine Foods Named to Inc.'s 2022 Best in Business List in Food Insecurity Category

NEW YORK, Dec. 6, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Genuine Foods, the quality-focused, purpose-driven foodservice company, has been named to Inc. magazine's 2022 Best in Business list in the Food Insecurity category. The list recognizes companies making the biggest impact on their communities, their industries, the environment, or society as a whole.

"We are honored to receive this recognition from Inc. for our work fighting food insecurity across the country," said Jeff Mills, CEO of Genuine Foods. "Genuine Foods' mission is and has always been to positively impact communities through access to the highest quality, most nutritious foodservice possible. We will continue to prioritize partnerships and opportunities that allow us to provide scratch-made meals to people who need them most, wherever they are and whatever their circumstances. We're grateful to our team for making this continued work possible."

Scott Omelianuk, editor-in-chief of Inc., says, "Inc. magazine is dedicated to showcasing America's most dynamic businesses and the great things they do. The Best in Business awards shine a light on those that have gone above and beyond their original mission to make a social, environmental or economic impact, benefiting those around them."

Rather than relying on quantitative criteria tied to sales or funding, Inc.'s editors reviewed the companies' achievements over the past year and noted how they made a positive difference in the world. They then selected honorees in 55 different categories – from advertising to sustainability to retail, and more – and in age-based, revenue-based, size-based, and impact-based categories. The applicant pool was extremely competitive – a huge success for the 240 honored in the list's third year. Honorees for gold, silver, bronze, and general excellence across industries and categories are featured online at inc.com/best-in-business.
