Formulation

How do you build your own calculation rules into formulation?

Every product category has its own indicators: moisture on a fat-free basis for cured meats, protein-to-fat ratio, target sugar content, the cost of a trial batch. Kept in a spreadsheet next to the recipe, they are wrong as soon as the recipe changes. Built into formulation, they are recalculated with every change, just like costs and nutrition facts.

How do you meet regulatory constraints while you formulate?

A banned additive, a preservative with a maximum level, a customer who only accepts EU-grown apples: a formula has to meet constraints from several sources. Checked once the recipe is frozen, they cost a trial, sometimes a batch. Checked with every change to the formula, they stop the error before it reaches production.
