Mr Crumb makes fresh stuffing and breadcrumbs under the Mr Crumb brand in Ireland and also exports flavoured butters and snack foods to European retailers.

Mr Crumb products will be eaten at 1 out of every 2 Christmas dinners in Ireland.
The company was previously voted Best Irish Business three times and has won Irish Product of the Year Award at the UK Great Taste Awards for its Stuffing.

“This is a great honour for everyone at Mr. Crumb and recognises the impact that rural businesses have within their own communities and at both a national and international level” according to Jason Coyle, Director of Mr. Crumb.
