Private Label Foods began in 1989, when Bonnie Lavorato hand-bottled her BBQ sauce in a Rochester home kitchen. The company has kept that kitchen-table character while growing into a 125,000-square-foot, SQF-certified facility that helps brands bring recipes from early development into dependable production. It works with grocery programs, foodservice operators, and emerging brands that need a consistent manufacturing partner.
