Do I need a chemist if my co-packer already has formulators?

Co-packer formulators are convenient but typically build formulas using their own ingredient suppliers and may keep the recipe tied to their facility. An independent beverage chemist gives you a portable, fully owned formula you can move between co-packers. On AJ Cosmo Labs you can connect with both independent chemists and co-packers and decide which path protects your margins and flexibility.
