Question Jim; Can you direct me to private label snack food sources, manufacturers and/or companies that also provide a national distribution network to fast track national distribution & marketing of a snack product which will benefit a number of 501c 3 non profit organizations in need of immediate capital, necessary to fund badly needed services. I live in Minnesota, but need National distribution. Thanks for your time. Charles
Answer Charles,
It sounds like you need to visit the website for the Private Label Manufacturers Assn, where you can do searches. Also, you should look at the Contract Packers Assn site, which has a very automated search feature.
Thirdly, try going to www.sfa.org , which is the trade association for snack food manufacturers.
