We partner with brand owners and product developers to produce snack foods from concept through to shelf-ready format.
Contract manufacturing means you engage a third-party facility to produce your product to your specification. You control the concept, the branding and the route to market. We handle the equipment, the compliance, the raw materials and the production runs.
It’s a practical arrangement for brands at any stage. An early-stage business gets access to commercial-scale production without the capital cost of building a facility. An established brand gets flexible overflow capacity or a cost-efficient alternative to in-house manufacturing.
General Foods has been doing this since 2013. We work with everyone from emerging health food brands to major national retailers.
We manufacture across five core snack food capabilities, each with flexible formulation, sizing and coating options. All products are produced in our Keilor facility under SQF Level 3 conditions.
Contract ManufacturingWe keep the process straightforward. Here's what working with us typically looks like, from initial enquiry through to ongoing production.
View Our CapabilitiesTell us about your product, your target market and your requirements. We’ll have a conversation about what’s feasible, what format options exist and what a realistic timeline looks like. No commitment required at this stage.
Our team develops your recipe to specification, working to your macro targets, flavour profile, ingredient requirements and dietary needs. Samples are produced and shared for review. We iterate until you’re satisfied before anything moves to production.
Before the first full run, we conduct a production trial to confirm the formula performs consistently at scale. You review and approve the output. Once signed off, the recipe is locked and production can proceed.
Finished product is produced under SQF Level 3 conditions with full traceability from raw material to dispatch. Once your product is in market, we manage ongoing production scheduling around your reorder requirements.
Since 2013, we’ve been building a facility and a team that can handle complex snack food briefs at scale. Our clients include some of Australia’s best-known health and retail brands. Here’s what they rely on us for.
