The planned rollout of Nomad Foods' Findus brand across the United States has been "interrupted" as a result of the global disruption brought about by the coronavirus pandemic, the company told IntraFish.

Nomad Foods, which owns the Findus brand and also sells Birds Eye and Iglo brands across Europe, first announced its partnership with Seattle-based Ocean Beauty in February 2019.

Under the agreement, Findus frozen seafood products are being sold through Ocean Beauty's US distribution network into both retail and foodservice channels.
