Chef Boyardee belongs to Hometown Food Company, whose number in Chicago is (312) 500-7710, and Hometown's contact page, linked in the contact details above, has a product feedback section for Chef Boyardee questions and complaints.

Chef Boyardee has been owned by Hometown Food Company of Chicago since June 3, 2025, when Hometown, a portfolio company of the private equity firm Brynwood Partners, bought the brand from Conagra Brands together with the Chef Boyardee plant in Milton, Pennsylvania. Hometown also owns Pillsbury baking mixes, Funfetti, Hungry Jack and Birch Benders. Frozen Chef Boyardee skillet meals are still made by Conagra under a license from Hometown, so check the company named on the pack before you complain about a frozen meal.

If a Chef Boyardee can is dented, bulging or leaking, or the food looks, smells or tastes wrong, do not eat it, and keep the can with what is left inside. Photograph the problem, the label, the UPC, the best-by date and the lot code on the bottom of the can, and keep the receipt. Then report it to Hometown Food Company through the product feedback section of its contact page or on (312) 500-7710, and ask for a reference. If anyone felt unwell after eating it, get medical advice first and note the dates and symptoms.
