Form 5500 information is as filed by the plan administrator with the Department of Labor and may be amended. Figures reflect the plan year shown, not current balances. Form 5500 contains no individual account balances. Look up the original filing at EFAST2.
Roche Fruit Co., Inc. 401(k) Plan is a 401(k) plan sponsored by RCH Fruit Co., Inc. of Yakima, Washington. For the plan year ending 31 May 2025 it reported 815 participants, 723 of them active, and net assets of $14.0M.
Net assets came to $17,220 per participant, well below the $46,267 median for defined contribution plans with 500 to 999 participants and well below the $42,336 median for defined contribution plans in agriculture, forestry, fishing and hunting. The figure is an average across everyone in the plan, including former employees with small balances; Form 5500 holds no individual account data.
The employer contributed $501K during the year, or $693 per active participant against a same-size median of $1,934; participants contributed $619K and $164K arrived as rollovers and other contributions. Benefits paid out totalled $1.9M.
The filing reports no service provider compensation on Schedule C. That is common where fees are paid by the employer or taken from investment returns, neither of which appears there. Administrative expenses charged to the plan were $4,285.
Across the filings on record, net assets went from $4.2M in 2009 to $14.0M in 2024 (up 236%), and participants from 379 to 815 (up 115%).
The independent accountant's opinion on the financial statements was unmodified (unqualified), from an audit whose scope was limited under ERISA section 103(a)(3)(C) to exclude investment information certified by a bank or insurer.

Questions and answers
How big is Roche Fruit Co., Inc. 401(k) Plan?
815 participants at the end of the plan year ending 31 May 2025, of whom 723 were active employees, with net assets of $14,033,944. Among defined contribution plans that places it in the 500 to 999 participants band, which held 10,588 plans in plan year 2024.
What does RCH Fruit Co., Inc. contribute per participant?
The filing reports $501,176 in employer contributions for the year, which is $693 per active participant; the median for plans of the same type and size was $1,934 in plan year 2024. Form 5500 reports the total only. It does not state the match formula, and the per-participant figure is an average, not any one person's contribution.
What fees does the plan pay and how do they compare?
Schedule C reports no provider compensation for the year. Administrative expenses on Schedule H were $4,285. Investment costs deducted inside mutual funds and other pooled vehicles are not itemised on Form 5500, so these figures are a floor rather than a full cost.
Who runs the plan?
The sponsor is RCH Fruit Co., Inc.. The financial statements were audited by Alegria & Company P.S.. Form 5500 also names the plan administrator's signer and other individuals; this site publishes organisations only.
Was the audit opinion unqualified?
The filing reports an unmodified (unqualified) opinion from a limited-scope audit, in which the accountant did not audit investment information certified by a bank or insurance company. Unmodified (formerly "unqualified") is the standard clean opinion.
How current is this, and does it show my balance?
This is the Form 5500 for the plan year 1 Jun 2024 to 31 May 2025, received by the Department of Labor on 14 Jan 2026. Filings are due seven months after the plan year ends, or nine and a half with an extension, so the public record always runs a year or more behind. It contains plan-level totals only: no individual balances, contributions or names of participants exist in the data.
