Seven fire trucks respond to Smith Snackfood warehouse fire in South Australia
The factory responsible for manufacturing some of Australia's most-loved chips has avoided significant damage after a fire broke out at the Smiths Snackfood warehouse in Adelaide overnight.
Emergency services received the call late Monday night, and seven fire trucks arrived at the South Road address shortly after.
Crews were soon able to contain the fire at the factory, which produces some of Australia's most popular chips.
It's understood the blaze started in a production oven.
A spokesperson for Pepsico, who owns the warehouse, confirmed supply 'will not be impacted.'
'A small fire occurred at our Regency Park site overnight and was quickly contained,' they said.
'All team members are safe and the site is now operational.'
'We thank local emergency services for their fast and effective response.'
The Pepsico warehouse manufactures chips such as Smiths, Red Rock Deli, Twisties, Doritos, Cheetos, and Burger Rings.
Pepisco has been manufacturing out of the factory in Regency Park, South Australia for more than 40 years.
