Bakery co-packers and manufacturers

Bread, tortillas, cookies, crackers, cakes and gluten-free. Every fact is checked against the manufacturer's own published information, with the date we checked it.

Bakery co-packers quote minimums in units or pounds per SKU. Examples a co-manufacturing platform has published include 10,000 units per SKU for cookies or bars in overwrap, 20,000 pounds per SKU for biscuits and 1,000 pounds for some bakery items¹.

If you plan a gluten-free claim, check the plant's program first. FDA's gluten-free limit is 20 parts per million, and the GFCO certification program tests to 10 parts per million or below². The counts below show how many of these bakeries state a certified gluten-free program.
