What Nali does
Food science and technical expertise, grounded in the commercial realities that take a product from an idea to the shelf.

Not sure where to start? We will help you identify whitespace opportunities
for new product development in the food and beverage market. We’ll support you
with strategic planning that delivers real innovation in your category.
Supporting you with recipe and formula development
using the latest food technologies. Create specifications and processing parameters
for your food and beverage products. Identify quality ingredient suppliers. Conduct
stringent product and ingredient testing to ensure a safe and consistent launch.
Assist with compliance for your products to meet food
and drink market regulations. We ensure all products meet local food agency
standards and labelling requirements. All food safety and allergen declarations are
held to the utmost standard.
We act as your trusted nutritionist, providing
guidance on optimal daily values and calorie content for your product. We help
determine shelf-life requirements, implement analytical and sensory testing, and
create effective consumer complaint management systems to support your brand.
Establishing strategic partnerships for efficient, sustainable supply chains that align
with your brand values and project requirements. Our holistic approach integrates
stakeholder engagement, sustainability modelling, and rigorous assessment of
environmental, regulatory, and supply chain risks. We can advise on sustainable
sourcing to ensure your supply chain is built with resilience.
Whether you are a start-up, a local business, or a global company,
we can craft a consultancy plan that aligns perfectly with your needs.
Whether you’re looking to update your packaging with compostable or recyclable
materials, or optimising your operations to meet carbon, corporate social
responsibility (CSR), or environmental targets, we can support your sustainability
needs. Our expertise spans sustainable product development, circular economy
solutions, regenerative agriculture sourcing, and innovative upcycling initiatives. Our
comprehensive services ensure your business can achieve its sustainability goals.
Launching an innovation is a challenge, especially when you’re not versed
in the industry jargon. To help support small and medium enterprises and start-ups,
we offer coaching and mentoring options to help get your feet off the ground.
Depending on your needs, you can schedule a two-hour brainstorming session or a
monthly session to ensure your product launches are smooth!
