ABOUT 140 Dandenong East jobs hang in the balance, with Waterwheel Industries – part of The Gourmet Group that includes Rosella – going into receivership this week.
The Gladstone Road factory manufactures baked snacking products under the Waterthins, Waterwheel and Roccas brands.

They told employees their employment would continue on the same terms and conditions pending the review’s completion, but all pre-appointment entitlements were frozen.
