Birdseye, Clarence (1886-1956)

US inventor who pioneered food refrigeration processes. While working as a fur trader in Labrador 1912-16 he was struck by the ease with which food could be preserved in an Arctic climate. Back in the USA he found that the same effect could be obtained by rapidly freezing prepared food between two refrigerated metal plates. To market his products he founded the General Sea Foods Company in 1924, which he sold to General Foods in 1929.
