R&D project to fine tune formulations in order to optimize supply chains - Youth Female

FY 2021-22 · 2021-09-07

Summary
The Sweets from the Earth supply chain has sustained significant disruption and shocks due to COVID-19. Shortages of ingredients due to both supply and transportation issues has necessitated the reformulation of hundreds of recipes in order to use available substitute ingredients. Unfortunately, it is never a 1 for 1 substitution and each recipe requires a revised formulation, lab test and plant trial.

The Sweets from the Earth supply chain has sustained significant disruption and shocks due to COVID-19. Shortages of ingredients due to both supply and transportation issues has necessitated the reformulation of hundreds of recipes in order to use available substitute ingredients. Unfortunately, it is never a 1 for 1 substitution and each recipe requires a revised formulation, lab test and plant trial.
Description (French)
La chaîne d'approvisionnement de Sweets from the Earth a subi des perturbations et des chocs importants en raison de la COVID-19. Les pénuries d'ingrédients causées par des problèmes d'approvisionnement et de transport ont nécessité la reformulation de centaines de recettes afin d'utiliser des ingrédients de substitution disponibles. Malheureusement, il ne s'agit jamais d'une substitution intégrale d'un ingrédient pour un autre et chaque recette nécessite une formulation révisée, des tests en laboratoire et des essais en usine.
