Frequently Asked Questions
What types of functional foods can you manufacture?
We manufacture powdered drink mixes (protein shakes, collagen waters, greens blends), nutrition and protein bars, superfood powder blends, meal replacement formulations, fiber-fortified products, single-serve sachets, and custom food-format supplements. We can formulate around virtually any functional ingredient in a food-delivery format.
What functional ingredients can be included in food products?
Popular functional food ingredients include plant and whey proteins, collagen peptides, probiotics and prebiotics, MCT oil, adaptogens (ashwagandha, reishi), fiber blends (inulin, psyllium), vitamins and minerals, omega-3 fatty acids, and superfood concentrates. We dose at levels that deliver genuine functional benefits.
How is functional food manufacturing regulated differently from supplements?
Functional foods fall under 21 CFR Part 117 (food safety) rather than 21 CFR Part 111 (supplements). This requires HACCP food safety plans, Nutrition Facts panels instead of Supplement Facts, and different marketing claim rules. Our facility is registered and compliant for both supplement and food manufacturing.
What are the minimum order quantities for private label functional foods?
MOQs vary by format: powdered drink mixes and blends start at 500 units, bar formats start at 2,500 units due to equipment setup, and sachet formats start at 5,000 units. Custom formulations with specialty ingredients may require higher minimums.
Can you create custom flavors for functional food products?
Absolutely. Our flavor development team creates proprietary taste profiles for every product. For powders and drink mixes, we typically develop 3 to 5 flavor options for your evaluation. For bars, we offer custom flavor, texture, coating, and inclusion options. Flavor matching existing products is also available.

Private Label Functional Food Manufacturing
Functional foods — products enhanced with bioactive compounds that deliver health benefits beyond basic nutrition — represent a $280 billion global market growing at 8.5% annually. Consumers are shifting from traditional supplements toward food-format delivery systems that integrate health benefits into their daily eating habits. Protein bars, collagen-infused drink mixes, fiber-fortified snacks, and superfood meal replacements are leading this shift, and private label brands are capturing market share from legacy CPG companies.
Our functional food manufacturing capabilities span powdered drink mixes, protein and nutrition bars, superfood blend powders, meal replacement formulations, and fortified food ingredients. We formulate with clinically studied actives — collagen peptides, probiotics, plant proteins, MCT oil, adaptogens, and fiber blends — at doses that deliver genuine functional benefits, not marketing-only inclusion rates.
The functional food category rewards brands that combine genuine nutrition science with great taste and convenient formats. Our food scientists and flavor specialists collaborate to create products that consumers choose because they taste good and repurchase because they work. Whether you are launching a protein bar line, a superfood powder brand, or a fortified beverage mix, we deliver the formulation expertise, manufacturing scale, and regulatory compliance your brand needs.
