  2. Contact with selected manufacturers. Communicate your product specifications, and expectations, and inquire about their capabilities. Building a transparent and open line of communication is key to a successful partnership.

  3. If you can, schedule site visits to the manufacturing facilities of shortlisted candidates. This will ensure they stick to industry standards and maintain quality control.

  4. Discuss production costs, minimum order quantities, production times, and payment terms. Negotiates so it fits with your budget.

  5. Establish a quality assurance plan and testing protocols for your product. Work closely with the manufacturer to make sure they stick with quality throughout the production process.

  6. Make sure your chosen manufacturer complies with all relevant food safety and regulatory standards.
