United States and/or Canadian Regulatory Review

Thinking of launching in Canada or the United States our regulatory team can review your product package and claims before you go to the expense of final packaging providing guidelines and directions to your designer and print packaging company.

Product & Concept Optimization

Product and concept optimization is the process of refining and improving a product to make it more valuable to current users and more attractive to new or current users. At Food Biz Mentoring we utilize our Think Tank experts to optimize your product pre-launch during the initial development. The process should continue after the product hits the market and until your company sunsets the brand. Product optimization is never complete, and you should weave it throughout your product’s lifecycle

Food Biz Mentoring can provide engaging written content that offers readers a unique perspective on food and the culinary industry as a whole. We can also provide expert food styling services for your next photo shoot and advise on bringing out the best in your product so it can truly shine. We have facilities at our disposal to get the job done.

THOUGHTS
FROM
OUR
CLIENTS

I wanted to take a moment to share my sincere appreciation for putting Sachili on the RC map for this year’s show. We had a very successful show with lots of meaningful discussions across various industry decision-makers. I managed to attend a few sessions as well and they were all fabulous. Congrats on a great show!

 Christine, you are the one who put “Sachili” in your slide deck and brought some street cred to our brand and products. I know that you will continue to play an integral role as a valued mentor/leader to me/Sachili. Ready to make our mark in the Canadian and US markets!!

I really look forward to participating in the Food Biz Mentoring program and am excited about your launch!

Sachi Kittur

Founder | Chief Flavour Officer, SACHILI

As one of the many food and beverage entrepreneurs that launched 3 years ago, it was amazing to have Tricia Ryan as a partner in my success with BARE Creations.  It is exciting to have Christine and Tricia now provide entrepreneurs within the food industry-specific knowledge at getting to retail knowing that they can take their business further with the resources they need to succeed. I wish this program had been available to me when I started, but I am excited to see this now available to the many idea creators out there who want to become the future of the food industry.

 I am thrilled to be part of the Food Biz Mentoring Start-Up Stronger program.

As CEO of the Xrozs Group and a devoted TikTok influencer, I have benefited greatly from working with Tricia Ryan and Christine Chamberlain. They have increased my visibility, created many new business connections and promoted projects that have helped me grow my business. Our collaboration with The Technology Access Centre in Kelowna and live stage presentations at the RC Show were not only fun, they expanded my reach and brand awareness. Tricia and Christine are professionals who are dedicated to entrepreneurial growth. I am excited to be collaborating with them this year as part of their Start-Up Stronger program and also they’re giving me the space to share my “Taste Tok Pro-Navigating Culinary Success on Tik Tok” social media training program with their followers and fans. It is with gratitude that I look forward to sharing and learning with everyone.
