Co-packing · Product development inquiry

Ready to bring your food product to commercial production?

Salt Road Food Hub helps established food brands and funded founders with co-packing, product development, and pilot manufacturing in a strictly gluten-free, vegetarian facility. If you have a recipe but haven't manufactured it commercially, we may be able to help you evaluate and adapt it for production.

What to expect

A recipe that works in a home kitchen often needs changes to ingredients, equipment, process, or packaging before it can be produced commercially.
Product development, testing, trial batches, and pilot production are paid services.
Small first batches cost more per unit than larger production runs.
We can't guarantee feasibility, shelf life, regulatory approval, unit cost, or profitability without evaluation and testing.

Who we work with

Brands with existing sales, and startups with adequate funding and a credible route to market. You don't need sales yet to work with us.

We're licensed for wholesale production only: packaged, labeled products sold through stores, distributors, or online. We can't serve food trucks, catering, restaurants, or meal prep for direct sale.

Before you start

Have ready: your product type, development stage, rough first-run quantity, where you plan to sell, and the budget available for development and first production. We generally can't take on projects without funding for these.
