Walking into the Hot Cuisine America plant, it would not seem as though you are entering an environment geared around food production at all. Prior to entering the processing area, employees don rubber boots, lab coats, disposable gloves, hairnets and beard covers. They then walk through an automatic boot washer and hand sanitizer unit before entering the plant. Hot Cuisine America, Inc., a division of the $3.5 billion Belgian Univeg Group, is the only U.S. plant in the food giant's "convenience" business unit. Construction on the Swedesboro, NJ facility started in the summer of 2007 and the plant was operational by January 2008. The plant focuses on convenience foods - high quality fresh prepared meals and meal components for retail and food service.
