Recognition
NFRA recognizes leaders in the frozen and refrigerated foods industry in a variety of ways. The Frozen Food Hall of Fame and Refrigerated Hall of Fame honor industry executives for their dedication and valuable contributions to the industry.
The Frozen Food Hall of Fame was established in 1990 by the Distinguished Order of Zerocrats, an organization of frozen food industry members whose purpose is to maintain the tradition of promoting the image and advancement of the frozen food industry. These members nominate and vote on the newest inductees, whose dedication and hard work have greatly benefited the industry. Today, NFRA and AFFI (American Frozen Food Institute) host the annual ceremony honoring the imagination and innovation that have ensured the continued growth and success of the frozen food industry.
