Frequently asked questions

Spud House is a dedicated gluten-free co-manufacturing facility in the Austin, TX metro. We produce bars, cookies, baked goods, granolas, and dry mixes for CPG brands. Our facility holds SQF Level 3 (9th Edition, Costco Addendum), GFCO, and USDA Organic certifications. We also handle dairy, soy, corn, eggs, and nuts under full allergen controls.

We start as low as 1,000–5,000 units per run, which is unusually low for a certified facility. That lets emerging brands test and launch without locking up cash in inventory, then scale up to 75,000+ units per shift as demand grows.

We specialize in gluten-free bars, energy bites, cookies, muffins, rolls, granolas, clusters, dry baking mixes, and protein/supplement powders.
