Our Services
End to end technical support throughout the product development cycle
A complete range of services designed and tailored to your requirements.
End to end support from product ideation, pilot trials, manufacture to launch and post launch. This is broken down in four service sections: Plan, Produce, Validate and Launch.
Plan
The product planning stage is the foundation of successful product development. It provides the opportunity to define the product concept, understand customer and market requirements and assess technical integrity.
MNGP can offer several technical services at the planning stage that would be critical to the success of any product launch.
Produce
To ensure the safe production of a food product, manufacturers must implement a robust food safety management system that identifies and controls potential microbiological, chemical and physical hazards throughout the production process.
MNGP can support a HACCP assessment, validate critical control points, manage allergens, establish effective cleaning and sanitation procedures, verify ingredient traceability, maintain strict temperature controls and regularly test products and processes.
Validate
Technical validation of a food product involves demonstrating that the product can be manufactured consistently, safely and at the required quality and cost on a commercial scale.
MNGP can support validating the recipe and production process through pilot and factory trials, confirming shelf life and microbiological safety, assessing packaging performance, verifying regulatory compliance and conducting sensory testing to ensure the product meets consumer expectations. The validation process provides evidence that the product specification can be achieved reliably before full market launch.
Launch
Launching a successful food product presents a number of technical challenges, as products that perform well in a kitchen or laboratory do not always translate effectively to larger-scale manufacturing.
MNGP can advise on variations in raw materials, processing methods and packaging as they can all affect product quality. Balancing these technical demands is essential to delivering a safe, high-quality product that meets consumer expectations.
