About Passage Foods
Founder
Chris Doutre
Chef and product creator, Chris Doutre, arrived in Australia in 1980, bringing his impressive knowledge, talent and long association with North Indian cuisine. He soon established a popular restaurant in Brisbane which he owned and operated for many years.
After winning many awards, Chris was determined to share his passion for his native cuisine with all Australians. In 2004 he formed a partnership with Flavour Makers, a young and successful food manufacturing business. From this partnership, Passage Foods was born.

Sadly our sauce pouch packs are not recyclable.
This is clearly not ideal or practical and we are searching the globe for a solution. We plan to change as soon as technology develops a recyclable or compostable option.
Further, we are a signatory to the Australian packaging covenant organisation (APCO), which aims to deliver the best possible solutions to packaging efficiency and sustainability in Australia. Learn more here.
By joining APCO we have flagged the next step in our efforts to work collaboratively with industry to increase the sustainability of our packaging.
There is much confusion about plastic pouch versus glass versus tin, but it is our understanding that overall pouch has the lowest carbon footprint of all options.
