Built for high-volume snack food production

Our Keilor facility runs dedicated production capabilities covering the full range of snack food formats we manufacture. Lines are configured for extrusion and bar forming, protein ball portioning and rolling, cluster pressing and binding, full chocolate enrobing and coating, and sachet and jar filling for nut butters and other liquids.

Each line operates independently, which means we can run multiple product formats concurrently. Equipment is maintained to SQF Level 3 standard with scheduled calibration and preventive maintenance programmes in place across the facility.

Every batch produced at General Foods is subject to in-process quality checks at each stage of the production line. We don’t rely on end-of-line inspection alone. Critical control points are monitored continuously, with documented records maintained for every production run.

Our facility operates under a full HACCP plan covering biological, chemical and physical hazards from raw material intake through to finished goods dispatch. Corrective action procedures are in place and tested regularly.

Third-party audits are conducted annually by an SQF-licensed certification body. We also run ongoing internal surveillance audits between external assessments. Audit results and corrective action records are available to clients on request.

We can provide certificates of analysis, allergen declarations, nutritional data and full traceability documentation to support retailer onboarding, compliance submissions or regulatory requirements.

We source ingredients from approved suppliers who meet our quality and food safety standards. All suppliers are assessed before onboarding and reviewed on an ongoing basis. Raw materials are inspected on receipt and held until quality checks are completed before entering production.

We maintain stable supplier relationships with a focus on ingredient consistency and supply continuity. Where ingredients have long shelf lives, we manage stock levels to reduce exposure to supply disruption. Raw material specifications are documented and available to clients as part of our standard onboarding process.
