‍From Your Idea to a Commercial Beverage in Eight Weeks

‍A successful beverage needs more than a good idea. It needs the right flavor, ingredients, manufacturing process, packaging, and regulatory approvals. Our development program is designed to help move a beverage from concept to commercial production in a practical and organized way.

‍
Flavormasters™

‍Flavormasters is a subsidiary of Nutrition Laboratories with a team dedicated to developing commercial beverage formulations from 2oz shots to 16 oz RTDs. 

‍

‍Your Idea

‍Every project starts with your concept. Some customers come to with a fully developed idea, while others only know the type of beverage they want to create. We build from there together.

‍

‍Functional Ingredients

‍You may already know which ingredients you want to use. If not, we can help recommend ingredient options based on the type of product you want.

‍
Flavor Development
Flavor is a key to a successful beverage. We work with you to develop a profile that fits the product and the intended market. 

‍ 

‍Process Authority Review
Once the formula is developed, the manufacturing process is reviewed by a Process Authority to confirm that the beverage can be safely manufactured and commercially distributed.

‍FDA Process Filing
For products that require FDA process filing—which include the great majority of beverages you see on retail shelves—we handle the submission to the FDA. This must be done before production begins but having an FDA process review is a prerequisite for you to market such beverage in the USA. The larger retailers will likely ask for the certificate.

‍Commercial Pilot Batch
Because lab samples of a product does not always translate to a commercial batch, Included in the program is a commercial pilot batch so you can sample, present to retailers, or begin sales. We require that you or your representative be present during this production to approve the commercial batch. The recipes of cooking for 500 is not always a multiple of cooking for one. You may want to make some adjustments, such as the sweetness or flavor. 

‍Typical production sizes:
    2 oz–2.5 oz shots: 2,000 bottles
    8 oz–32 oz beverages: 1,000 bottles

‍Master Formulation Package
At the end of the project, you will receive a complete Master Formulation Package containing the formula, ingredient list, vendor contact information, manufacturing procedures, and production documentation for the beverage. This package is your intellectual property. You can use it to produce your beverage with any manufacturer who has the appropriate equipment.
