Food & beverage product development

Also known as: food formulation, beverage formulation

Food and beverage product development is the creation of consumable recipes by balancing ingredients, flavor, texture, nutrition, and shelf stability. Developers account for factors such as preservation method, water activity, allergens, and serving size so the product is safe, consistent, and compliant. The result is a documented formula and process a co-packer or manufacturer can scale.
