Simply 7 Nutrition Facts in Record Time
The Client
Dishaka, LLC develops, manufactures, and sells healthy snacks around the world under the Simply7 and private label brands. The company’s philosophy is that every ingredient is not only natural, but also simple. Each product has:
- No trans fats or cholesterol
- No artificial colors or flavors
- No preservatives
- Gluten-free ingredients
- All natural recipes
- Simple ingredients
- Is simply delicious
The snacks, including lentil chips, hummus chips, and quinoa chips, come in a variety of flavors for health conscious consumers who want both taste and healthy ingredients.
The Challenge
Dishaka was working with a major national grocery chain to develop a line of private label snacks for over six months. When the buyer asked for the Nutrition Facts before he’d approve the order, it was crisis time. It was Thursday and the buyer wanted the information by Monday morning. Not only was the turnaround time compressed, ingredient suppliers spanned time zones from Europe to USA, and not all ingredient information was on hand. It seemed almost impossible to get Nutrition Facts labels completed in the requested time frame.
The Solution
Food Consulting Company to the rescue! A frantic CEO contacted Food Consulting Company, who acted quickly to get the job done. They gathered key nutrition information, sorted what was missing, converted from grams to ounces, and provided different names for the same flavors/ingredients. Critical pieces of information that required further research and analysis arrived the following day. Food Consulting Company was able to develop accurate, 100% compliant Nutrition Facts for this line of private label products and sent them to the CEO by Sunday evening.
The Results
This was not a cut and dried project. With a great attitude and attention to detail, Food Consulting Company delivered the project with excellent customer service, on time, as promised – over a weekend. Not only did Dishaka win the business with the nationwide retailer, they continue to work with the same buyer today, over 6 years later. It’s a rarity for a product line to last that long as snacks usually come and go every couple of years. Food Consulting Company has become a valued partner. While the CEO oversaw the food labeling projects initially, now Dishaka has staff to handle them.
“Food Consulting Company is exceptionally responsive – you always get a prompt reply. They appreciate that you are a customer and take care of you. They work fast, accurately; tell you clearly what they will do and deliver on time, every time. No hassles. No surprises. Working with them is worry-free.”
— Kawal Oberoi, CEO, Dishaka LLC
