Natalie Alibrandi, a food scientist who gets products ready for market, outlines what you need to hone to take your food and drink product idea to full commercialisation, including executing a formula that’s ready for a retail launch and a formulation that will continue to serve your needs as your demand grows and your business scales up.

In this episode you’ll learn:

1. Getting the right technical formulation for your product;
2. Ensuring your product’s packaging is compliant;
3. Scoping suppliers, including co-packers, that are right for your needs;
4. Shelf life requirements, including analytical and organoleptic testing;
5. What to include in a consumer complaint system so you’re retail ready; and
6. Supply chain management expertise so as you scale you build a solid end-to-end value chain.
