Stampede has become a leading innovative foodservice and retail supplier across North America.

The COVID-19 pandemic has many families across the globe feeling uneasy; some individuals have had their work hours cut, some are finding limited groceries, and a majority are spending more time safe inside their homes. Stampede has launched a new initiative to help alleviate some of the stress on families in the Chicagoland area.

Safety within all aspects of the business is a top priority for Stampede.  For their customers, employees, and products some form of safety measure and compliance is set in place.  At Stampede’s newest facility in Sunland Park, NM, the 3^rd phase of the renovation project was to implement a clean room.  With the clean room now open, this provides further growth capabilities for Stampede, but also new opportunities for menu innovation for their customers.  Below are some Q&A’s on this newly added processing area, provided by Stampede’s Quality Assurance team.
