Frequently Asked Questions

We specialise in private label snack bars produced in both organic and conventional quality. Our portfolio includes protein bars, functional bars, oat bars, collagen bars, egg white protein bars, milk and whey protein bars, and double-layered bars.

Yes. We develop custom recipes based on your specific requirements — nutritional targets, ingredients, flavour profile, texture, and market positioning. Our product development team works closely with you throughout the formulation and sampling process. Our standard terms and conditions for custom product development apply.

Yes. We offer a range of ready-to-produce recipes from our white label catalogue — over 20 proven formulas that can be manufactured directly under your own brand. This is the fastest route to market, with no R&D cost on your side.

Yes. During the development phase we can adjust sweetness, texture, protein percentage, and other characteristics to achieve the desired product profile.

Yes. Every bar in our portfolio can be made functional. Available premixes are Active Energy, Boost Energy, Energy Boost (B-complex), Immunity Lift and Recovery Energy. Individual ingredients include Lion’s Mane, Ashwagandha, Reishi, fermented fruit and vegetable blend, creatine, collagen peptides, vitamin C, niacinamide and quercetin. Stability, compatibility and regulatory aspects are evaluated during development, and we tell you what can be stated on the pack for each ingredient.

We work with a wide range of plant and animal protein sources. Plant proteins include pea, rice, rapeseed, hazelnut, peanut, and almond protein. Animal-based proteins include bone broth powder, hydrolysed collagen, milk protein, and egg white protein. The choice depends on nutritional goals, flavour profile, and desired texture.

Yes. High-protein bars can be developed depending on the selected protein sources and the desired texture and taste profile.

Yes. We can formulate low-sugar bars where fibre sources such as inulin or tapioca fibre replace high-sugar syrups. We generally do not formulate products labelled ‘no added sugar’, as this claim requires that no ingredients with a sweetening function — including certain fibre syrups — are added.

Yes. The texture can be tailored depending on the ingredients and processing parameters to achieve a soft, chewy, or firmer texture.

Sample development typically takes a few weeks, depending on the complexity of the formulation, ingredient sourcing, and the number of iterations required.

The standard product development package includes up to five sample iterations.

Yes. Whenever possible we provide alternative ingredient options so you can select the best fit for your product concept.

Yes. Depending on the project requirements we can prepare several variations to compare flavour, texture, and nutritional composition.

Our production facility is IFS Food certified (highest score), EU Organic certified, and holds Fairtrade certification. All products are produced in a fully automated environment with strict quality controls and traceability across the supply chain.

All of our bars are gluten-free and soy-free, and our whole facility is gluten-free and soy-free. Most are also vegan, dairy-free and palm-oil free. Allergen profiles vary by recipe. Detailed ingredient declarations and allergen matrices are available upon request for each product in our portfolio.

Our minimum order quantity is 30,000 bars per flavour, or two flavours of 15,000 bars each, provided both have the same coating or no coating. Volume discounts start at 30,000 bars and increase at 61,000 and 91,000+ bars.

Shelf life depends on the formulation and ingredients used. In most cases our bars achieve a shelf life of approximately 9–12 months when stored under appropriate conditions.

Our fully automated, solar-powered facility operates at a capacity of up to 1,000,000 bars per month, making us a reliable partner for both growing brands and established retailers scaling their private label ranges.

Production lead time depends on ingredient availability, packaging materials, and production scheduling. Typical lead times are approximately 5–7 weeks. For new recipes or custom packaging, additional time is required for development, sampling, and approval stages. A confirmed timeline is always provided at the start of your project.

Yes. We welcome factory visits and encourage prospective clients to see our processes first-hand. Our facility is located in Gurmazovo, Bulgaria. Please get in touch to arrange a visit.

Yes, under certain conditions. Exclusivity arrangements are available for clients who meet defined volume commitments over an agreed period. This applies to both portfolio recipes and custom-developed formulas. Details are negotiated individually — please raise this during your initial consultation.

IP ownership terms depend on the type of engagement. Custom recipes developed exclusively for a client can be transferred or licensed under agreed conditions. This is always defined clearly in the contract before production begins.

We offer individual flow-pack packaging for the bars as well as secondary packaging such as display boxes and transport cartons. Standard foil wrapping and display boxes are available. We can work with your own packaging supplier or recommend solutions.

Yes. We provide detailed technical specifications and guidelines to ensure that packaging designs are compatible with our production and printing processes.

Yes. Recyclable packaging options are available. Please discuss your specific requirements during the project scoping phase.

The final price per bar depends on several factors including ingredient selection, nutritional composition, packaging materials, order quantity, and overall production complexity.

Yes. Ingredient selection can significantly affect the final price, especially when specialty or functional ingredients such as adaptogens, premium proteins, or certified organic components are used. Each functional addition is reflected in the final pricing.

Yes. Larger production volumes allow more efficient production and typically reduce the unit cost. Volume discount tiers start at 30,000 bars and increase at 61,000 and 91,000+ bars.

Our standard delivery term is EXW (Ex Works) from our facility in Bulgaria. Alternative Incoterms can be arranged depending on order volume and destination. We supply clients across Europe, including the DACH region, Benelux, and beyond.

The number of bars per pallet depends on the bar size, packaging format, and carton configuration. Typically, between 5,000 and 8,000 bars fit on one standard EUR pallet.
