Chips & Rice Snack Development
Budget: ₹1,500 – ₹12,500 INR
I’m ready to transform a concept for chips and other rice-based snacks into a shelf-ready product line. The goal is a distinctive crunch, short and “clean” ingredient lists, and flavour profiles that stand out on crowded shelves.
What I need from you starts at benchtop formulation and runs through to pilot-scale production: selecting the right starches, seasonings, and processing parameters (extrusion, frying, or baked puffs), running iterative trials, fine-tuning texture and oil uptake, and producing a full technical dossier. That includes ingredient statements, processing specs, nutrition panels, allergen declarations, and shelf-life evidence that the snacks stay crisp for at least six weeks. Familiarity with HACCP, FDA/USDA and EU labelling requirements is highly valued, as is experience liaising with co-packers for scale-up.
Acceptance criteria
• Three prototype flavours delivered as 200 g test packs
• Final formula scaled to a 100 kg batch with moisture <3 % and water activity ≤0.35
• Editable documentation (Excel/Word) covering formulation, process, and regulatory details
If you’re an experienced food product developer who can take chips and rice snacks from kitchen to commercial run, let’s get started.
