🔬🍽️ Have you heard about the incredible benefits of triangle testing? 📊🔍 As someone with no prior experience in food manufacturing before joining Novo Farina Ltd (not sure if I should admit that?!) this is the first time I’ve come across Triangle Testing - an innovative testing method that ensures quality and safety in food production. Here’s what I learned🌱🚀… Triangle testing, also known as the "three-sample test," is a powerful tool that helps manufacturers enhance their control processes, resulting in higher-quality products and happier customers. 🫛 🔬 Accurate Quality Assurance - Triangle testing allows food manufacturers to compare three samples, two of which are identical, while the third differs subtly. By presenting these samples to a large group of people, we can determine whether they can reliably identify the odd one out. This rigorous testing method ensures that any variations in taste, texture, or appearance are identified, enabling manufacturers to maintain consistent quality standards. 📝✅ 🍽️ Enhanced Product Development - Triangle Testing plays a crucial role in the development of new food products. By conducting these tests during the formulation stage, manufacturers can fine-tune sample recipes and applications, create the best ingredient combinations, and identify potential flaws before going into large-scale production. This not only saves time and resources but also helps deliver products that meet or exceed citizen (ahem Plant Futures) expectations. 🌟👨🍳 🌍 Manufacturing Consistency - In an interconnected world where food products are distributed across the UK, Triangle Testing ensures consistent quality across different production runs and eventually production sites. By implementing this method, manufacturers can minimise batch variations, maintain brand integrity, and provide citizens with the same taste experience, no matter where they are. 🌎🌐 💡 Continuous Improvement - Triangle testing promotes continuous improvement within the food manufacturing industry. By running tests to identify areas for enhancement, address potential quality issues, and stay ahead of evolving consumer preferences. Embracing triangle testing in food manufacturing is a game-changer for the industry. It ensures consistent quality, optimizes product development, and empowers manufacturers to deliver exceptional experiences to their valued customers. 🚀🍽️🌟 This was a first for me but certainly not a first for Novo Farina Ltd and our amazing Food Technologist Veronica Grube! If you have any questions or would like to learn more about the benefits of Triangle Testing I’d be happy to put you in touch with our helpful Food Scientist 👩🔬 #ProductDevelopment #QualityStandards #PeaProtein #CustomerExperience #TriangleTesting #FoodManufacturing

Third-party manufacturing plants face several challenges when producing private-label FMCG ( food) products for the first time. These challenges can be grouped into various categories: Quality Assurance and Control: #ProductConsistency: Ensuring that the product matches the quality, taste, and consistency of the sample provided by the brand owner. Ingredient Sourcing: Ensuring that all ingredients meet the required quality standards and specifications. #RegulatoryCompliance: Meeting the food safety and regulatory requirements of the target market, which can vary from one country to another. #SCM: Inventory Management: Balancing inventory levels to meet demand without overstocking or stockouts. #LeadTimes: Managing lead times for raw materials, packaging, and finished goods to ensure timely production and delivery. #CostManagement: Optimizing costs while maintaining quality standards #ProductionCapacity: Ensuring that the manufacturing plant has sufficient capacity to meet the production volume required by the brand owner. #EquipmentandTechnology: Adapting to new equipment or technologies required for the production of specific FMCG food products. #Training: Training the workforce on the production processes, quality standards, and safety protocols specific to the private-label product. #CommunicationandCollaboration: Clear Communication: Ensuring clear and effective communication between the brand owner and the third-party manufacturer regarding specifications, expectations, and changes. #Collaboration: Building a collaborative relationship with the third-party manufacturer to address any issues or concerns that may arise during production. #PackagingandLabeling: Design and Compliance: Ensuring that the packaging design meets the brand's requirements and complies with regulatory standards. #LabelingAccuracy: Ensuring accurate and compliant labeling of ingredients, nutritional information, and other required information on the packaging. #TestingandValidation: Product Testing: Conduct thorough testing and validation of the product to ensure it meets quality and safety standards. #ProcessValidation: Validating the manufacturing processes to ensure consistent product quality and safety. #MarketandConsumerUnderstanding: Consumer Preferences: Understanding and meeting the preferences and expectations of the target consumers for the private-label FMCG food product. #MarketTrends: Keeping up with market trends and adapting production processes or product formulations accordingly. Financial and Contractual Aspects: #CostEstimation: Accurately estimating the production costs and pricing the private-label FMCG food product competitively. Addressing these challenges requires careful planning, strong collaboration, effective communication, and continuous monitoring and improvement. throughout the production process. Brands should work closely with their third-party manufacturing partners
