US organic foods group The Really Cool Food Co. is set to merge with produce firm Renaissance Food Group.


The two sides said the deal, announced today (10 June), would offer “retailers and consumers the broadest selection of the freshest prepared and value added fresh foods”.


Under the plans, California-based Renaissance Food Group will lead the sales and marketing team for the combined company, which will push brands including Really Cool Foods and  Garden Highway.
