Saval Foods Corporation is a broadline foodservice distributor based in Maryland. The company services over 1,200 independent restaurants in the Mid-Atlantic region in the United States, and is headed by CEO Paul Saval.

The operations of the company are split between two divisions. Saval Foodservice, based in Elkridge, Maryland, is responsible for distributing food and food-related products to restaurants in the Mid-Atlantic region. Deli Brands of America, the company's Baltimore division, provides meat-processing services and meat products to supermarkets, foodservice distributors, and chain restaurants in the region.

History
Saval Foods Corporation was founded in 1932 by Harry Saval. Originally known as Saval Food Products, the company provided deli meat processing and distribution services in the Baltimore area. In 1988, the company split its distribution and processing services into two separate divisions. Distribution service was moved to Elkridge, Maryland at a new division called Saval Foodservice, while processing service remained in Baltimore at the Saval Processing division.

In 1999, Saval Processing moved to a 30,000-square-foot facility in Baltimore. The division was officially renamed to Deli Brands of America in 2003. After leasing the facility for 15 years, Saval purchased the building in 2014. In January 2015, Saval announced plans to expand the facility, which would add 3,300 square feet to the processing plant and effectively double its capacity. The expansion was successfully completed later that year.

In October 2017, Deli Brands of America announced that it was building a 19,000-square-foot warehouse in Lansdowne, Maryland to expand its slicing and processing services. The building was officially opened in 2018.
