Our Story

Private Label FAQ

What are your minimum run sizes for a private-label product?

Our programs are engineered for multi-store and truckload-scale runs. We partner with national and regional retailers, club chains, convenience-store chains, and foodservice distributors rolling proteins across many locations rather than single-site orders.

Do you handle product development, or only manufacturing?

Both. Don Lee Farms provides end-to-end R&D, from concept and formulation through commercialization and a finished, shelf-ready SKU.

What certifications and food-safety standards do you hold?

We operate USDA-inspected, FDA-registered, and SQF Level 2-certified facilities, with certified-organic lines (since 2012), antibiotic-free programs, and rigorous HACCP-based food-safety systems across two company-owned campuses in California and Texas. Our practices are reviewed in regular USDA, FDA, third-party, and customer audits.

What product categories can you make?

Charbroiled and smashed beef burgers, handhelds and grab-and-go proteins, taquitos and quesadillas, protein bowls and entrées, meatballs and cooked proteins, plus certified-organic and plant-based lines.

Can you supply convenience-store and grab-and-go programs?

Yes. We manufacture roller-grill, hot-case, and packaged grab-and-go proteins for convenience-store and small-format retail chains, shipped frozen for consistent quality across every location.

Do you make both private-label and co-branded products?

Both. We manufacture under your private brand or in a co-branded program, whichever fits your category strategy.
