We first check whether the brief is commercially and technically ready. Suitable manufacturers are then shortlisted against capability, minimum order, location, required standards and timing. Sensitive information stays restricted until the agreed confidentiality step. Selection remains the buyer’s decision.
Frequently asked questions
Questions buyers ask about food & beverage
What should a food contract manufacturing brief include?
Include the product format, recipe status, allergen profile, first run, annual forecast, pack format, target shelf life, sales market, required certifications and preferred production date. Keep the full recipe out of the first capability screen.
Can FactoryTender help with a low-MOQ food manufacturing project?
You may submit the target quantity for a fit review. Practical MOQs depend on the process, batch size, ingredient and packaging minimums, cleaning, setup and the manufacturer's commercial model. Submission does not guarantee that a suitable low-MOQ option exists.
Does FactoryTender approve food labels or claims?
No. FactoryTender can record the intended market and required evidence in the sourcing brief, but it does not approve recipes, labels, claims, shelf life or regulatory compliance.
