Regular price $ 3,950.00
With this package, our expert-led Research & Development team will work with you to create a professional formula for crackers, utilizing the most leading-edge processes innovated by food scientists.

We will work with you to achieve:

  • A formula that meets your nutritional specifications and macronutrient goals within the realm of physical and scientific possibility.
  • A formula that meets the regulatory requirements that govern food processing, including those established by the FDA.
  • A science-based formula that meets the specific nutritional needs of your targeted consumer base.

Our expert-led research and development process includes:

  • Up to three bench-made pilot trials of Prototype Crackers.
  • Organoleptic Testing performed by our team of in-house experts
  • Full database Nutritional Analysis
  • Our R&D team works under the terms of a Non-Disclosure Agreement, which guarantees that all of your work with us remains top secret.
  • Disclosure of the final formula so that client can find a co-packer for scaling this production (YouBar does not offer full scale manufacturing for crackers).

*Please note that this price includes two hours of compliance checks from our in-house compliance team and up to three rounds of bench prototype mixes (8-10 servings per round), and that no refunds are available after work begins. Any label claims that are considered non-standard by YouBar's team will not be able to be approved without the stated approval by a 3rd party FDA compliance lawyer or consultant (YouBar can provide an introduction if desired). Graphic design work is available on an hourly basis, and additional prototypes are available for an additional cost. The formulation cost is for one flavor only. If you would like multiple flavors then you will need to purchase multiple R&D packages. Please note that YouBar relies on clients to complete this process within six months of initiating it, otherwise additional R&D fees will apply.


YouBar has limited capacity to produce crackers at scale, and cannot produce all cracker styles at scale. If YouBar is not the right partner for scaling up after recipe formulation then YouBar will provide the details of the process in written format so that it can be taken to any other co-packer.
