Tem Toa Thai Frozen Brand Expands to Whole Foods Market Stores Nationwide

Tem Toa
Deep Brands/ Tem Toa

Created by the team behind Deep Indian Kitchen and under portfolio company Deep Brands, Tem Toa was developed to address a notable gap in the frozen aisle: despite Thai cuisine being one of the most popular takeout categories in the U.S., there have been few frozen brands dedicated exclusively to authentic Thai entrées. 

July 24, 2026

Tem Toa: the frozen Thai brand has officially expanded into Whole Foods Market stores nationwide, marking its latest retail milestone following a successful launch at Target stores nationwide in April. 

Created by the team behind Deep Indian Kitchen and under portfolio company Deep Brands, Tem Toa was developed to address a notable gap in the frozen aisle: despite Thai cuisine being one of the most popular takeout categories in the U.S., there have been few frozen brands dedicated exclusively to authentic Thai entrées.

Named after the Thai phrase for "Full Table," Tem Toa brings chef-crafted recipes, traditional ingredients sourced from Thailand, and restaurant-quality flavors to the freezer case. 

The nationwide Whole Foods Market rollout further expands the brand's growing retail footprint and reflects increasing consumer demand for globally inspired frozen meals that deliver both convenience and authenticity. 

About Deep Brands
Deep Brands was formed in 2026 as a family of brands focused on elevating and increasing accessibility for global flavors. Its brands include Deep Indian Kitchen, the #1 frozen Indian brand in America, and Tem Toa, the first frozen food brand dedicated to Thai cuisine. Each of its brands serves one cuisine exclusively, enabling them to authentically represent their cultures and to enlighten Americans about their cuisine’s bold flavors and culinary traditions. Across its portfolio, Deep Brands is committed to making its products from scratch, using each cuisine’s traditional recipes and processes, and sourcing only the highest quality ingredients. The result is premium, authentic products that replicate restaurant experiences and bring global cuisines to life at home in minutes. Every purchase of Deep Brands’ products benefits its Deepkiran Foundation, which helps provide access to education for thousands of underprivileged children in rural India. Deep Brands is wholly owned by Deep Foods Inc, a 3-generation family company that has been a leading manufacturer of global flavors since 1977.
