The Sara Lee Bakery Plant was built
at Gosford, on the New South Wales Central Coast in 1971.It was established
to supply Sara Lee products not only to Australia but to the entire Indian
Ocean, South East Asia, and Pacific regions
Sara Lee Bakery operates by two main principles. The first is to produce
a range of cakes, desserts, and pastries to the highest possible standard
using the finest ingredients, whatever the cost. Secondly, to be an efficient,
low cost producer, so that our products are priced within the reach of
everyone.

| “No added artificial colours,
flavours and preservatives” is our company policy, which we believe,
is a consumer benefit and sets us apart from the competition.
The decision to phase out the use of artificial colour and to use
only natural alternatives in those few items that require a colour
boost was made in 1989.
The company’s policy on the use of any raw material is to follow
government food laws, while ensuring that high quality products
are produced in line with consumer preferences, using only those
ingredients that are both legal and acceptable to an increasingly
discerning public.

| Sara
Lee is one of the largest users of fresh produce in Australia, consuming
large quantities of butter, eggs, cream and cheese, in addition, substantial
amounts of Australian flour, fruits and sugar are required to satisfy
the demand for our products. |
| The company benefits
from the exchange of technology with our sister companies overseas, but
most development work for the local products is carried out at Gosford.
In addition, a fully equipped Quality Assurance laboratory maintains the
continuous standards upon which the Company’s reputation has been built.
The Gosford plant makes a positive contribution to the prosperity of
the Central Coast by employing over 500 people. It has had an annual
growth rate in excess of 10% for the past 15 years, thereby providing
a stable industry for the district.
The company also supports the community by supporting the establishment
of the Science Faculty (including Food Science) at the Ourimbah Campus
of the University of Newcastle. In addition the employees also support
several charity days throughout the year.
