Product Development
Our Product Development Group provides client-oriented, interactive, and hands-on product development work. Our services assist entrepreneurs, food processors, and food producers with technical expertise to formulate food products for market testing and sale. Development work can range from:
- Just an idea that needs to be developed
- A home developed recipe that needs improvements
- A quality issue that needs to be overcome
- Finding replacement ingredients for a recipe using all natural and organic ingredients
- Processing improvements
- Shelf Life development
- Nutritional Labeling
FIC staff members will work with you to outline a scope of work for your project. You can choose to be on site when the development work is being performed or you can come in at defined project times to evaluate the development work. We encourage our clients to be as much a part of the project as they desire.
The FIC product development lab, analytical lab, processing lab, licensed kitchen, temperature/humidity chambers, cooler and freezer storage rooms, and other processing and packaging equipment facilitate our product development work.
