Diverse Product Types and Textures Beware of suppliers who offer a wide range of product types like biscuits, dried fruits, and nut dip cookies without consistent texture quality; softness, crispiness, and semi-hard textures must meet your specific consumer expectations to avoid dissatisfaction.
Packaging Specifications Insist on packaging that aligns with your brand positioning and logistics needs—whether gift packing, individual packs, boxes, or bags—as packaging directly affects product freshness and customer appeal.
Certification Compliance In practice, most reputable suppliers will hold certifications such as BRC, ISO, FDA, HACCP, or Halal; prioritizing these ensures compliance with safety standards and access to broader markets.
Shelf Life Considerations A critical question to pose your supplier is the guaranteed shelf life, especially when options range from 6 to over 24 months, since longer shelf life can reduce waste but may affect product freshness and cost.
