Future forward

At Bay Center Foods, we seek to have a positive influence and to be a good steward of our resources. We are driven by always thinking about what’s next.

As an inventive food-production company, our goal is to use 100% of each whole lemon — from the peel to the pulp — to create real lemon juice, while also repurposing lemon byproducts into other applications, helping keep waste out of the landfill.

It’s important that you put your best foot forward.

At Bay Center Foods, we look ahead to the future with courage and curiosity, continually thinking beyond the present in search of growing new, better and brighter ways to expand what we do. We know that, together, we can accomplish more than any one of us alone. That’s why, as a team, we are Growing a Brighter Future.

By receiving deliveries of lemon juice instead of whole lemons, Chick-fil-A is able to:

Remove the equivalent of
the emissions produced by

689 gas-powered cars annually

Require far less cardboard for packaging, saving the equivalent of

20,400
trees each year

Save
14.1 million

gallons of water annually
from restaurants — equivalent to enough drinking water for more than
38,000 people for a year

Keep more than

100 million
pounds

of leftover lemon materials
out of landfill
