Lately we've been hearing from more customers who want input and feedback on their overall packaging, not just their nutrition labels. So we've added a new service for Hiring a Food Labeling Expert.
There's a language for everything, and knowing the right one makes all the difference in where and how far you can go. Matt Suggs knows co-packing, and he also knows that if you plan to work with a co-packer, you need to learn how to talk the talk. Matt's sharing his insider tips, learned from working with thousands of co-packers and even more food companies looking for co-packers, so that when you start the conversation you won't be speaking a different language.
I recently met Sarah E Crowder through Brooklyn FoodWorks, where we both mentor food entrepreneurs. She has skills in an area I'm rather clueless, food photography, and made me feel smarter about the topic in a matter of minutes. So, we thought it would be fun to have her do a guest post on food photography and how to think about the process for your food business.
Most people think that when the need a nutrition label they have to send their food product to a lab for nutrition analysis. While that's not actually required, and ReciPal exists so that you don't have to do that, sometimes you do want or need to have your product lab tested.
Here you'll find some possible resources to help you with your food business. This list is just a tiny sampling of the options available; it's not meant to be comprehensive or to serve as personal endorsements. We'd love to build on it and add your endorsements, so if you have someone you want to recommend, let us know or add to the list in the comments below!
