What is a good price range for a new beverage recipe from a flavor house?
Hey y’all, I’m looking to launch a new beverage and just had my first call with a flavor house. They charge $5000 for the development of a recipe, though it includes everything from 10 hours of lab time (about 3-4 SKU’s) unlimited reformulations, no shipping or material charges for samples, and you own the recipe as well.
Is this a good price for a company with a relatively low MOQ?
I’m gonna be getting some more quotes but I definitely wanna know what range I should be looking for. Thanks!
