Flint-based Creative Foods is set to cease ready meals operations in Flintshire, north Wales, a move which will affect around 150 staff.
Located in Aber Industrial Estate, the plant manufactures frozen ready meals, sauces, soups and pasta dishes.
The company said, "Following an extensive review of our food manufacturing business and in the context of a long-term decline in the wholesale frozen ready meals product category, we have identified that Creative Foods, in Flint, north Wales, may no longer [be] a viable business.
"We will continue to make every effort to support our colleagues affected by the proposal, during this unsettling time."
Creative Foods has started a consultation process, which is expected to be completed in May.
Delyn MP David Hanson said, "I am extremely disappointed with this decision; the loss of nearly 150 jobs will be a massive blow to our community and I know many people will now be worried and uncertain about what will now happen with their jobs and their future."
Creative Foods is a producer of a wide range of dishes, sauces and desserts designed specifically for the foodservice outlets.
