Expanding business in new markets Challenge
A successful, well-known North American snack company with a long track record of new products and a global presence, looked to expand business to new markets.
As they looked to expand offerings into new markets, Product Development formulated a new series of plant-based snack recipes. However, these recipes included naturally derived colors, novel foods, and multiple unique ingredients they previously hadn’t used
and that aren’t well known by consumers.

Stay up to date on changing regulations Solution
The company uses Trace One Regulatory Compliance, a global food news and regulatory platform, to determine
which markets have rules and guidelines around these new ingredients. Because many of these plant-based ingredients are new and potentially difficult to evaluate, Trace One Regulatory Compliance’s scope allows a wide net to be cast to gather information and stay up to date with evolving industry news throughout the product development process.
