Your co-manufacturer relationship is costing you more than you think.

We’ve owned the brand, run the plant, and led the R&D. We help founder-led food brands fix, manage, and professionalize their co-manufacturer relationships—so production becomes a growth lever instead of a constant source of risk.

Does This Sound Familiar?

✖ Your quality is inconsistent and your co-man says it’s within spec.
✖ Your costs keep going up and you don’t understand the drivers.
✖ You’re growing and your co-man can’t keep up—but switching feels terrifying.
✖ You don’t have anyone internally who actually understands manufacturing.
✖ Your co-man relationship feels adversarial and you don’t know how to fix it.

These aren’t sales problems or brand problems. They’re co-manufacturer problems. And most founders have never had someone on their side who’s actually been on the production floor.

Why We Built This

We owned BumbleBar—a natural food brand that relied on a co-manufacturer for production. That co-man relationship failed, and it led to a nationwide product recall.

That’s why Snackteva exists.

Our team has run co-pack plants, led R&D and formulation, and holds PCQI and SQF Practitioner credentials. We’ve been through dozens of third-party audits—SQF, Non-GMO, Kosher, Organic—on both sides of the co-manufacturer relationship.

We don’t advise from theory. We advise from the line, and from the scar tissue of getting it wrong.

The Co-Manufacturer Reality Check

A fixed-scope diagnostic that gives you an honest, operator-level picture of where your co-manufacturer relationship actually stands. Not where you hope it stands.

We review your agreements, pricing, quality records, food safety documentation, and communication patterns—and deliver a written report with specific findings, risk areas, and prioritized recommendations.

Typically two to four weeks. One clear deliverable. One walkthrough call.

Who This Is For

We work with founder-led natural food and beverage brands that are already in production with a co-manufacturer. Typically $2M–$20M in revenue, with existing retail or DTC distribution, and a growing sense that their manufacturing partnership is underperforming.

If you’re pre-launch, looking for someone to find you a co-man, or seeking a sustainability audit—we’re not the right fit. We’ll tell you that on the first call.
