Heinz is reported to be selling its frozen food ready meals manufacturing site in Dundalk, Ireland to the Authentic Food Company.
The deal includes a three-year co-pack arrangement for The Authentic Food Company to continue to make Heinz for Weight Watchers, Ross and Heinz Big frozen meals, according to the Grocer.
The companies plan on further developing the Weight Watchers range and also review future opportunities for Heinz in frozen. The Heinz factory was opened in 1993 and currently employs 155 people.
