Indian snacks and foods
Indian snacks and foods for foodservice kitchens
Counters, functions and QSR menus brief namkeen, sweets, frozen breads and ready meals as kitchen lines, not as a branded retail set. QSR Supplier sources them for hotels, cafes, QSR, caterers and distributors across Australia and New Zealand. Shiiv Imports is the importer and sourcing partner, working through partner factories. We are not the manufacturer.
What does an Indian snacks and foods supplier provide?
Namkeen, savoury snacks and peanuts, cookies and rusk, sweets, frozen paratha and naan, frozen snacks such as samosa and potato tikki, and ready meals. Packs are bulk cartons, food service packs and portions. QSR Supplier takes the brief. Partner factories pack to the agreed specification.
Shiiv Imports Pty Ltd is the sourcing partner and importer, not the manufacturer. Shiiv holds ISO 9001. Product certifications stay with the factory that holds them.

Specification
What to put in an Indian snacks brief
A written brief is what partner factories pack against. Labelling for Australia and New Zealand is confirmed per brief. If you already have a specification, send that.
| Point | Why it matters | What to state |
|---|---|---|
| Line | Namkeen, a frozen bread and a ready meal are different briefs. | The snack, sweet, bread or meal, and whether it is ambient or frozen. |
| Heat and hold | Frozen snacks and ready meals need a stated cook or reheat method. | Fry, oven or reheat, and how the line is held for service. |
| Allergens | Peanuts, wheat, milk and sesame are common in this range. | Allergens to declare, and any may-contain wording. |
| Pack | A counter shipper and a freezer carton are not interchangeable. | Bulk carton, food service pack or portion. |
| Label | The panel has to match the sites you serve. | Label confirmed per brief for Australia and New Zealand, and minimum shelf life on arrival. |
