Food Pacific Manufacturing Journal

Isn't it true that good food starts with good ingredients? There are just so many ingredients to consider when choosing flavours, colours, preservatives, texturisers, etc, before you can create the food product that meets your standards. As a manufacturer, how do you choose a brand or ingredient solutions partner? Quality is a determining factor. Will the ingredient improve the overall quality of your end-product? Cost is another factor. You will find that many ingredients are positioned as helping you reduce cost. While some ingredients are intended to make your formulations more label-friendly, or nutritious.

Processing methods and choice of equipment and packaging of course are as important. However way you choose, you know you’ll have to create a product that consumers will want to purchase over and over. If market studies show that consumers are becoming nutrition conscious, are willing to purchase higher quality products despite the price, are more aware about environment and sustainability, then the choices become obvious.
