Texas is preparing to lose another specialty-food operation, following another recent food-facility shutdown in the state. CTI Foods Bean, LLC plans to permanently close its operation in Saginaw, eliminating 66 jobs.
The cuts are scheduled to take effect on November 9, 2026, according to a Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification filed with the state on August 27. The shutdown has not happened yet, so the closure and job losses remain planned rather than completed.
What the Texas operation makes
CTI Foods makes custom products for restaurant chains, food manufacturers, distributors and retailers. The company says it has served the food-service industry since 1986, developing foods at large scale for customers whose own names may be more familiar to shoppers and diners.
The WARN notice was filed under CTI Foods Bean, LLC. On its official production overview, CTI lists dehydrated refried beans among the foods made in Saginaw, along with soups, queso, macaroni and cheese, sauces, side dishes and cooked tacos. The company does not publicly identify the customers supplied by the affected operation.
Saginaw, located in Tarrant County north of Fort Worth, has long been home to food manufacturing and agricultural businesses. CTI’s local operation includes facilities on Sansom Boulevard, an industrial area where the company has produced both bean products and other prepared foods.
66 jobs are scheduled to be eliminated
The state filing lists 66 affected workers and describes the action as a permanent closure. It does not provide a breakdown of the positions being cut, and CTI has not publicly said whether employees will be offered transfers to another company facility.
The filing also does not give a reason for the shutdown. CTI continues to describe itself as a national custom-food manufacturer with production capabilities in several states, including Idaho, Iowa and Kentucky. There has been no announcement that the broader company is closing.
That distinction matters because the November action applies to the Texas entity named in the WARN notice, not necessarily every CTI Foods activity in Saginaw or elsewhere. The company has not said whether production from the bean operation will be moved to another site, reduced or discontinued.
What happens next
Unless the plan changes, the 66 layoffs will take effect November 9. WARN notices are intended to give workers and local officials advance notice of qualifying plant closings and mass layoffs, although details can change before the effective date.
For now, the Saginaw closure is still ahead. CTI has not announced an earlier final production day, and no completed shutdown should be assumed until the company or state records confirm that operations have ended.
