Australians have avoided some of their favourite snacks going into short supply after a fire broke out at the Smiths Snackfood Co Limited warehouse in Adelaide.

Seven fire trucks were dispatched to the fire at the warehouse in Regency Park late on Monday night.

Four firefighters donning respirators and wielding high-pressure hose lines were able to contain the blaze.

The warehouse is responsible for the manufacturing of several iconic Aussie and American snackfoods including Smith’s chips, Doritos, Twisties, Red Rock Deli chips, Burger Rings and Nobby’s pub food snacks.
