SAPUTO CHEESE USA INC

Saputo Cheese USA Inc. specializes in the manufacturing and supply of standardized cheese commodities for federal food assistance programs, with core expertise in producing frozen, part-skim mozzarella in multiple formats including shredded, sliced, and bulk-packaged forms. The company demonstrates technical proficiency in food processing under strict USDA commodity standards, ensuring consistent product quality, freeze-thaw stability, and compliance with food safety protocols for long-term storage and distribution. Their specialization lies in high-volume production of shelf-stable dairy products tailored for institutional use, with particular emphasis on frozen cheese applications that meet the nutritional and logistical demands of federal nutrition assistance initiatives. The contractor maintains a sustained, exclusive relationship with the U.S. Department of Agriculture, supplying cheese commodities under the USDA’s Food Donation and Nutrition Assistance programs. All awarded contracts are for the provision of standardized dairy products used in school meals, emergency food aid, and other federal nutrition initiatives, indicating a deep alignment with USDA’s commodity distribution framework and a proven ability to meet complex procurement specifications for bulk, frozen food items. Saputo Cheese USA Inc. operates exclusively within NAICS 311513 — Cheese Manufacturing — positioning itself as a dedicated supplier of processed dairy commodities rather than a diversified food manufacturer. The company’s market focus is narrow and specialized, serving the federal government’s need for consistent, high-volume cheese products that comply with federal nutrition guidelines and cold chain logistics requirements. As a 2L entity based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, the company is structured as a domestic manufacturer with no federal certifications on record. Its geographic presence is centralized, supporting national distribution networks through a single production facility focused on USDA-compliant dairy output. The firm’s government market positioning is that of a reliable, niche supplier of frozen cheese commodities for critical nutrition programs.
