VIRGINIA FOOD, INC. is a Cebu-based company engaged in the manufacturing, distribution, selling and processing of Processed Meat Products. Famous for its many Canned Goods Line (CGL) and Frozen Processed Meat (FPM) products, it is best-known today as the maker of one of the best hotdogs in town- the Virginia Premium Hotdog. However, like all great things, VFI also had its humble beginnings.
VFI began as a backyard poultry farm and piggery in Mandaue City, Cebu in the 1960’s as a pastime of Doña Virginia Sy Chongbian. It was registered with the Philippine Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) as Virginia Farms, Inc. As demand for processed products increased, a 2,215 m2 processing plant with canning facilities was constructed on a two-hectare property in Tugbongan, Consolacion in 1977. This small processing plant supplied processed meat products in addition to pork and dressed chicken initially sold by the farm.
In November 1982, production and marketing of processed meat divisions were spun off to form a new corporation, VFI FOOD, INC., later renamed VIRGINIA FOOD, INC. This became the foundation of the VFI that we know of today.
In 2002, Avalon Holdings, Inc., a Manila-based company, became the owner of VFI. Today, VFI’s modern processing plant spanning a total area of 7.3 hectares is housed in Cogon, Compostela, Cebu, about 26 kilometers north of Cebu City.
VFI is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Bureau of Domestic Trade (BDT), Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) and with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The Company is a member of the Philippine Association of Meat Processors, Inc. (PAMPI) and is also recognized as an accredited member-exporter of the Philippine Exporter Confederation, Inc. (PHILEXPORT).
VFI passed the NMIS audit for Current Good Manufacturing Practices (CGMP) and Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points (HACCP) certification. It received the Rated AAA accreditation by the NMIS enabling it to go global in its sales and distribution of its products.
