Manufacturing heat and eat products
Low-Risk Production Areas
Low-risk production environments are typically those which involve the processing and handling of ingredients, mixes and pastry, dough or sponge which is then cooked.
Varying levels of automation are utilised for pastry blocking or depositing mixes into our pre-cook production processes, delivering maximum value to our contract manufacturing customers.
We can also provide hand toppings or decoration at each stage as well as offline work for bespoke products where required.
Our low-risk production area handles all aspects of the manufacturing process that take place before the product is cooked. These include:
manufacturing Ready-to-eat food products
High-Risk Production Areas
High-risk production environments are those where ready-to-eat products are produced and/or processed.
Our high-risk production area handles all post-cook processing. This is where we add additional fillings or toppings and our skilled staff hand assemble and apply the finishing touches or decoration to your products, before being frozen down ready for the packing process.
Our experienced team operates to the highest levels of hygiene and food safety standards within our high-risk production area.
At Finedale Foods, our High-Risk Production Area provides a wide level of production flexibility that includes:
Packing, Storing & Distribution
Post-Production
Towards the end of the manufacturing process, your product will be blast frozen. We have invested in state-of-the-art mechanical freezing equipment to freeze products super quick, locking in flavour, quality, and nutrients while also optimising shelf life. Frozen products are then packed and stored within our on-site cold store ready for distribution. Various packaging options are available depending on your requirements.
