Capability proof

Melt Mates™ proves the sandwich line — we’re not selling it to you here

Our own-brand sandwiches show that we already run brand-grade IW assembly, QA, labeling, and frozen logistics. Your brand can ride the same architecture.

  • IW breakfast & lunch sandwiches — real throughput, QA, and compliance

  • Ovenable film, frozen logistics, and documentation stack already operating
  • Not the product we’re pitching you — proof that the co-pack kitchen works
School & Commodity — Bid Muscle
  • NYC public schools / DOE–scale and major program nutritional compliance
  • USDA further-processed commodity provider (cheese path 100242)
  • CN / nutrition docs and bid support your brand can inherit
  • 10,500+ schools reached through RSF/GFS programs
  • Compliance framed as brand protection — wins your bids

Capacity footprint

Dual East Coast plants

Company-owned manufacturing and cold storage — Edgewood NY + Hermitage PA. Redundancy, school-lane proximity, and room to scale partner volume.

Trust & credentials

Compliance that protects your brand

Framed for your QA and bid teams — co-pack credentials, not a checklist dump.

FDA-registered facility

Registered manufacturing for sandwich assembly, dairy/egg builds, and further-processed programs. Clear regulatory posture for co-pack under FDA.

SQF Level 2

Third-party audited food-safety system with GFS QA oversight on every run — audit-ready for your QA team.

USDA further-processed commodity

Commodity provider credentials that open institutional and school-channel paths — cheese code 100242 experience where applicable.

NYC DOE–scale fluency

Same team that supports NYC public schools and major programs — available under partner brand / private label.

Honest scope: We are an FDA-registered facility — not a USDA inspected meat plant. We are separately a USDA further-processed commodity provider. That clarity builds trust.

Supply chain depth

From components to finished sandwiches — one architecture

Brand capability plus supply penetration is what lets GFS/RSF co-pack for others. You inherit qualified carriers, eggs, and assembly — not a mystery box.

Among the largest breakfast-carrier and egg relationships in our channels — French toast, pancakes, waffles, grilled toast, egg patties, folded eggs & omelets — with supply partners holding SQF depth. Carrier and egg formats are qualified supply depth behind sandwich co-pack, not a sell-as-is catalog dump on this page. We do not invent CN claims on partner components.

How engagement works

Six steps from discovery to reorder

Expand any step for ownership and what happens. Timeline bands only — exact days set at kickoff.

1 Discovery / NDA Brand + RSF

Channel fit, volume bands, IP protection. We confirm whether private label on our platforms or co-pack of your formula is the right path.

  • NDA before formula or brand-sensitive detail
  • Channel: school / brand PL / C-store / distributor
  • Honest capacity and format conversation up front
2 Spec & nutrition Brand leads · RSF supports

Formula or platform fit, nutrition targets, and CN path when the channel requires it.

  • Platform match vs custom formula under NDA
  • Commodity cheese path (100242) where applicable
  • Claims language reviewed for honesty and compliance
3 Sample / line trial RSF produces · Brand approves

Taste, pack, and process validation on the lines that will run your SKU.

  • Sample kit and/or line trial
  • IW film, case, and heat-and-serve checks
  • Iteration before first production PO
4 Packaging & labeling Brand artwork · RSF compliance

Film, case, claims, and documentation — your brand on packaging that clears QA and channel requirements.

  • Private-label / brand artwork support
  • CN / nutrition statements when needed
  • Case pack aligned to channel
5 First production RSF owns · Brand releases PO

QA, cold chain, and ship from Edgewood and/or Hermitage depending on the run plan.

  • GFS QA oversight on every run
  • Frozen logistics and dock coordination
  • Documentation pack for your receiving team
6 Launch & reorder Shared

Forecast cadence and continuous improvement — trial volume that can grow regional, then national.

  • MOQ philosophy: Trial → regional → national
  • Fill-rate focus with dual-plant redundancy
  • SKU rationalization support for distributors

Buyer FAQ

Questions procurement asks first

Can you co-pack sandwiches for our brand?

Yes — that is the primary offer. Private label on our platforms, or co-pack your formula under NDA. Melt Mates™ is own-brand proof that the sandwich line already runs; we are not pitching Melt Mates as the product you buy here.

FDA plant — what can you co-pack?

FDA-registered facility for sandwich assembly, dairy/egg builds, and further-processed programs. Not a USDA inspected meat plant — we are separately a USDA further-processed commodity provider.

What does SQF Level 2 mean for us?

Third-party audited food-safety system with GFS QA oversight on every run. Your QA team gets audit-ready documentation and a partner who already speaks school and institutional compliance.

Do you support USDA commodity programs?

Yes — USDA further-processed commodity provider with cheese code 100242 experience where applicable for school/institutional programs.

Edgewood vs Hermitage — who does what?

Edgewood = production hub / lab / NYC school lane. Hermitage = cold storage, docks, Midwest–NE ship, overflow. East Coast redundancy for partner fill-rate.

MOQ / lead time?

Flexible trial → regional → national. Path: NDA → sample → line trial → first production. Exact days set at kickoff — we don’t invent false SLAs.

IP / NDA?

NDA first. Your formula and brand stay yours. Co-pack = your IP; private label = your label on our platform architecture.

What about eggs / pancakes / waffles / French toast?

Component depth and expansion story — and they also sell as-is from rightstartfoods.com. On this page they support the co-pack narrative; they are not equal hero lanes competing with sandwich co-pack.
