FareScience identifies ingredients of a certain specification to primarily fulfill the creation of a food product with consistent and compliant results. However, this step is also crucial in order to secure reliable manufacture, optimize processing and cost efficiency, and in some cases, to support a long-term initiative (such as sustainable farming practices, supporting local economies, select geographic regions, and other conscious efforts).

Background
The B2B market is not accessible to everyone. The ability to find any ingredient partner relies on relationships and careful vetting by both parties. Being able to talk the language as well as being introduced through a mutual contact is a keystone to accessing quality ingredients that are the right fit for your product, brand, and company’s quality assurance standards. FareScience aids in connecting reputable and bespoke ingredient suppliers with brands, especially in the plant-based space, and helps set both parties up for a fruitful partnership.
