What are the inherent challenges of manufacturing private label brand products?
Blanco: What has become an issue from time to time is when a manufacturer wants send a label with a shelf-life date that does not mesh with the date of manufacture for whatever reasons. We have overcome this problem by using bar codes on our products that include the shelf-life date. Chaudhari: Some of the big challenges include regulatory environment issues like GRAS (generally recognized as safe) status, cost of developing new ingredients, and the costs associated with developing new safety and effectiveness studies.
