Frozen pizza and snacks was the strongest private label growth category during a 52-week period ending July 11, 2009, according to The Nielsen Company.
Triangle Capital Corp., (TCAP) Raleigh, N.C., said it closed a $7.5 million subordinated debt investment in private label processor Frozen Specialties Inc., Holland, Ohio.
ConAgra Foods said its Lamb Weston foodservice potato and appetizer business will build a "state-of-the-art environmentally friendly" food plant near Delhi, La., to process frozen sweet potato fries.

Frozen entrees and snacks from ConAgra Foods, Kraft Foods and Tyson Foods were among last year's top-selling new products according to Information Resources Inc. (IRI).
