Flavorchem launches beverage development service
Flavorchem has announced the addition of its newest turnkey beverage development service: The Bench. The Bench’s dedicated team of product experts start with a brand’s custom beverage idea and take them through the entire product development process including commercialization and launch. Although this division is new to Flavorchem, their R&D team has been doing product development work for more than 50 years across a full spectrum of food and beverage categories including coffee and tea, functional drinks, and alcohol beverages, it says. The Bench has Regulatory and Quality Control departments ready to support these projects by leveraging very specific expertise to make sure the products developed meet FDA regulations, the company notes. Flavorchem brought on beverage industry veteran, Lisa Mayer, to help propel the growth of the new turnkey service division. With more than 20 years working with leading beverage companies like Pernod Ricard and Nestle Waters, Mayer has a proven track record of success in developing new and enhancing existing beverage portfolios, optimizing for profitability and growth, the company says.
