As far as ingredients are concerned I have figured out the following;
Flour, Sugar, Yeast, Salt,
The plant not only manufactured and bagged the donut mix in 50 pound bags, but also acted as a commissary for the stores it was responsible for, so the out going trucks were loaded with donut mix and drums of donut filing, donut icing, donut glaze, coffee, coffee cups, donut boxes, napkins and anything else a store might need.
Production at its peak reached 2 Million 50 pound bags per year, out of a total K.K. production figure of 6 million 50 pound bags. Apparently they were spitting out filled bags at the rate of one every 3 seconds. The plant was running 3 shifts and operating 24/7.
By searching the web I actually managed to find some photos from inside the warehouse and it shows pallets loaded with six bags per layer by ten layers high for a total of 3000 pounds of donut mix per pallet and they were stacked at least 5 high.
A mind boggling operation to say the least.
