Bite Me Up CDO Food Corporation is a Cagayan de Oro-based manufacturer known for its signature pastries and premium pasalubong (souvenir) products. With a focus on local flavors, small-batch baking, and wide regional distribution, the company plays a significant role in the specialty food market of Northern Mindanao.

Company History

Founded in Cagayan de Oro City, Bite Me Up began as a small local bakery and has since evolved into a recognized name in Mindanao’s pasalubong and specialty food scene. By combining innovation with tradition, the company has successfully carved out a niche in premium snack foods, supplying major tourist destinations and retail chains throughout Northern Mindanao.

Core Business

Bite Me Up CDO Food Corporation operates as a full-scale bread and pastry commissary with a focus on:

  • Manufacturing indulgent snack items and desserts
  • Supplying wholesale and pasalubong centers in Iligan, Camiguin, and CDO
  • Serving institutional and retail customers with consistent-quality baked goods

Their model is anchored on freshness, small-batch baking, and market-tailored packaging.

Product and Service Offerings

  • Brownie Bites:

    • Signature chocolate brownies in mini formats
    • Packaged for gifting and travel
  • Crispy Brownies:

    • Thin, crunchy chocolate brownie variant
    • Designed for snackability and long shelf life
  • Cashew Crunch:

These products are sold in standalone stores, pasalubong centers, and occasionally featured in regional trade events and food expos.

Specialization and Core USP

Bite Me Up is recognized for its ability to turn simple baked goods into gift-ready delicacies. Unlike commercial mass-produced snacks, its offerings retain a handcrafted feel while meeting retail and foodservice distribution standards. The company’s stronghold in pasalubong markets is driven by packaging design, freshness, and regional identity.

Financials

Financial information for Bite Me Up is not publicly disclosed. However, its multi-outlet retail presence, including visibility in Iligan and Camiguin gift centers, suggests a stable revenue stream from tourism-linked sales and regional retail partnerships.

  • Cagayan de Oro City (home market)
  • Iligan City (via retail distributors)
