How a new FoodPro product comes together

We have ongoing new product and range development, and the capacity to produce tailored products according to customer briefs.

  1. Brief

    You tell us the dish, the shopper, the price point and the channel: retail, wholesale or foodservice.

  2. Kitchen

    Our development chefs create recipes to your brief in FoodPro's in-house NPD kitchen.

  3. Taste

    You taste the samples. We refine the recipe until it is exactly right for your customers.

  4. Pack

    We match the dish to packaging from our own range, ready for your label and livery.

  5. Produce

    Your product moves to hand-crafted or fully automated production in our BRC Grade A facility.

  6. Deliver

    Frozen storage and transport through Browns Food Group get your product to depot.

To confirm with FoodPro: The stage names and what happens at each, from FoodPro's NPD team, plus typical timescales.

Developed by chefs, built for production

Whilst offering a multicultural world-taste menu, we continuously develop new and exciting foods to bring to market within our new product development kitchen.

Because recipe, packaging and production sit under one roof, a dish developed in the kitchen is designed from day one to run on our lines, hand-crafted or fully automated.
