A food factory is a type of food production facility managed by the Engineering Corps' Production Crew. Food factories use a very similar layout as regular factories. Food factories generally transform raw ingredients into packaged, processed foodstuffs. Certain food factories are named and well-known to the public in the Mazes.

There are many different types of food factories:

• Brewing plant: Produces and bottles alcoholic drinks of all kinds.
• Canning facility: Produces metal cans, processes and seals canned food into the cans.
  • The canning facility in Fort Wight also produces the packaging of rations.
• Mass baking factory: Produces and packages baked goods in large quantities, such as bread, cakes, biscuits, and more.
• Packaged fast-food factory: Produces and packages prepared, pre-cooked, ready-to-eat fast-food items (fries, burgers, hot-dogs, pizzas, sandwiches...), some of which are designed to be reheated.
• Soft drink plant: Produces and packages soft drinks of all kinds.
• Soft and powdered drink plant: Produces and packages soft drinks and powdered drinks of all kinds.
