New product development

New product development (NPD) and existing product development (EPD) are crucial for any food and drink business. 

Are you looking to develop and launch successful new or reformulated products which satisfy consumer demands, are financially viable, meet food safety standards, and comply with the latest food information regulations?

If so, we can provide a range of support:

• Market analysis and trend research – to help you establish if there is a market for your product and support with refining your product idea
• Recipe development – from initial kitchen concepts to on-site support for production scale up, process trials and launch
• Food safety considerations – including microbiology and shelf-life determination, allergen control, raw material sourcing, thermal validation and process flow
• Product reformulation – to help you make your products healthier or substitute ingredients for cost purposes
• Quality assessment support – this can include sensory evaluation to test your products against competitors and developing a Quality Attribute Sheet to set final product parameters such as size and colour
• Product packaging – support with labelling, health claims and nutritional information
