Product Development – $150 Per Hour

We take your idea, kitchen formula, or product sample and develop bench top samples and a formulation that is ready for a pilot batch, providing:

• Samples
• Formulas
• Raw material documentation
• A cost analysis
• An ingredients list for a 3rd party lab to perform Nutritional Panel Development, Ingredients List, and/or Allergen Statement generation
• Packaging recommendation
• A detailed product specification
• This fee also applies to developing additional flavors for existing products, adjusting flavor or texture profiles, and revising formulas

Pilot Test Batch – $1,750

Basic cost for the pilot is $1,750 per product, plus the cost of the ingredients, and we will test if your formula will work in our production environment.

• We will test your formula to ensure it is ready for high volume production
• We will adjust packaging recommendations based on learning from pilot
• We will provide you with all product produced during the test batch, packaged in bulk bags or boxes at no charge.

Pilot Test Batch – Packaging Fee of $0.50 Per Unit

At the end of the pilot, we can package the product in bulk packaging at no charge. If you would like your product packaged in individual sample bags (blank, not retail ready), we will charge $0.50 per bag. Labeling of bags will be extra. We offer the following types of packaging:

• Pillow Bags
• Stand Up Pouches

Cleaning Fee – $500

We have a fee associated with the clean up at the end of the trial. This fee includes cleaning of all manufacturing and packaging equipment.

Nutritional Panel & Ingredient Deck

All products produced at World Wide Gourmet Foods must have their nutritional panel verified by an independent 3rd party lab. The lab must provide the Nutrition Panel, Ingredient Statement, and Allergen Statement. We have a lab we work with, Nutrition & Diet Services, that charges $220.00 for this work, or you can use a company of your choice.

Shelf-Life Testing

World Wide Gourmet Foods recommends that you use a 3rd party to test the shelf life of their product. You are responsible for this step and must sign off on the shelf life of the product.
