Morphology
The noun-noun compound 'food manufacturer' is compositionally transparent: 'food' (edible products) combined with 'manufacturer' (entity producing goods) yields a producer of food. This is a regular, cross-linguistically common formation, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the meaning.
Etymology
Food manufacturer puts together food, meaning what people eat, and manufacturer, meaning someone who makes things. Think of a factory line filling many packets of snacks, so that image explains why the phrase means 'a person or company that makes food in large amounts'.
