Filipinos in America will have one less thing to miss about home – tocino. Thanks to Mekeni Food Corp., that iconic Pinoy culinary delight will be
made available here.

“We have always set our sights on making products of world-class quality.
However, after making strides, we realized that it is more than that. Being able to
produce and bring local products to the international arena brings more pride to
our employees and Filipinos back home and here abroad,” said Mekeni president
Prudencio Garcia, adding that bringing tocino to the USA is a testament to their
commitment to making Filipinos abroad feel closer to home.

Based in Pampanga, Mekeni Food Corp. is internationally recognized for its world-
class manufacturing process. It is the first in Asia and the second in the world to
receive the certificate of compliance with ISO 22000 Food Safety Management
System standard. It is also the first company accredited by the Japanese
government to export cooked products to the country.

The food company started as a backyard family business of former public school
teachers Felix and Medicia in the early 1980s. Together with their five sons and
with unwavering dedication, hard work, and desire to uplift lives in their
community, Tatay Felix and Nanay Meding were able to grow the business into a
world-class brand.
