GFI America, Inc
 PROFILE
Sure, protein is brain food, but that's not where GFI America's SmartMeat gets its name. Trimmed of fat and prepared without chemical preservatives or artificial flavoring, SmartMeat is part of the beef processor's lineup of portion-cut and value-added meats sold to restaurants, supermarkets, and food processors in the US and internationally. Cattle are fed to the company's specifications, then processed at its four midwestern plants. They emerge as bulk ground beef, steaks, meatloaf, and other products under labels including SmartMeat and ReelTender. President and CEO Robert Goldberger and his brother Howard founded the company in 1974; their family still owns GFI America.
