OUR SIMPLE 5 STEP R&D PROCESS
Initial Consultation & Ideation
We begin with a thorough consultation to understand your vision, brand goals, and market needs. Our team collaborates with you to brainstorm and generate ideas that align with your product vision.
Ingredient Selection & Sourcing
Based on your product goals, we identify and source the best ingredients to ensure your product delivers on both nutrition and flavor. Whether you need plant-based proteins, organic ingredients, or specific functional ingredients, we’ve got you covered.
Custom Formulation & Prototype Development
Our R&D team develops custom formulations and produces initial prototypes for your review. We focus on creating the ideal balance of flavor, texture, and nutrition, tailoring each prototype to your specifications.
Lab Testing & Compliance
Once the formulation is approved, we send it to the lab for comprehensive testing. This includes shelf stability analysis to ensure your product maintains quality over time and the creation of accurate nutrition fact panels for packaging compliance.
Scale-Up & Pre-Production
With the formulation finalized and lab testing complete, we move to the scale-up phase. At this stage, purchase orders (POs) are placed, and we begin preparing for full-scale production. Our team ensures that the transition from prototype to production is seamless, maintaining quality and consistency at higher volumes.
FAQ
How long does it take to go from idea to a finalized product?
The timeline depends on the complexity of the product, but typically the R&D process, from ideation to prototype development and final formulation, can take anywhere from 6 to 12 weeks. This includes lab testing, formulation adjustments, and ensuring shelf stability.
Do you offer help with ingredient sourcing?
Yes, we handle ingredient sourcing based on your product’s needs, including specialty ingredients like organic, non-GMO, plant-based, and functional ingredients.
Can you assist with scaling production after R&D?
Absolutely. Once the R&D process is complete, we’re fully equipped to scale up production, ensuring consistency and quality as your brand grows.
How involved will I be in the R&D process?
We keep you involved at every step, from initial ideation to final formulation. Your feedback and vision are key to creating a product that reflects your brand’s goals and values.
What if I’m unsure about the specific ingredients or nutritional profile I want?
No problem! We’ll help guide you through ingredient options based on your target market, desired product claims (e.g., gluten-free, high-protein, etc.), and overall brand goals. Our team will suggest ingredients and nutritional profiles that align with your vision.
Will my product be tested for shelf stability and compliance?
Yes, after the formulation is finalized, we send approved products to third-party labs to assess shelf stability and create a compliant nutrition facts panel. This ensures your product not only tastes great but also meets industry standards for quality, safety, and labeling. This is charged on your first PO post R&D phase.
