Root Your Health New Product Development (NPD) consulting provides services to assist in the 4 key stages of product development in the food sector:
Ideation
Formulation
Processing
Commercialization
Stage 1: Ideation
The concept and completed brief of the new or existing product and how this product will fit into the current market. Will the scope of the project have regional or global preferences and be focused on a specific target market or market size. These are a few factors that will play a role in finalizing the idea and determining the market share of product before development starts.
Stage 2: Formulation
Stage 3: Processing
The approved formulation will undergo a factory (upscale trial) to test and see if the standard operating procedure will be efficient for producing the final product at the approved sensory standard. Quality and food safety critical control points will be established to make sure the optimal shelf-life of the product is reached. Final costing is generated to determine end product cost.
Stage 4: Commercialization
Time-Line for new product development
Quick: 3-6 months
- A line extension for an already existing product
- Problem-solving on an existing product line, safety plan and HACCP amendments
- Label updates and artwork changes
Average: 6 months-1 year
- A new product that can still be made on existing equipment
- New packaging and production changes to existing products to improve shelf life.
Long: 1-3 years
- A brand-new product – could be hard to make, or new equipment may need to be designed/purchased.
- Developing a new product often takes longer than developing a finished food product because there are more regulatory and sales hurdles involved.
