Reformulating a food product can be one of the most exciting — and most complex — steps in product development. Whether you’re updating an existing product to meet new consumer demands, comply with upcoming regulations, or improve cost-efficiency, success begins with a solid foundation.
Every food scientist has heard the golden rule: Know your product, know your goals, and know your limits.

Following these basics won’t solve every challenge, but skipping them is one of the most common (and costly) mistakes in food reformulation.

NutriLab provides traceability and structure, enabling you to revisit, refine, and document every decision made during the development process.
Starting in February 2025, the FDA's updated 'Healthy' claim took effect, with mandatory compliance required by 2028. If your product meets the new nutritional criteria, such as limits on added sugars, sodium, and saturated fat—you can use this claim to differentiate your product in a competitive market. Reformulating your product may be essential to qualify.
You can download the complete infographic about the new claim here.
New Front-of-Package (FOP) labeling regulations are expected to be implemented soon. These changes will give greater visual emphasis to key nutrients that impact health, such as added sugars, sodium, and saturated fats. As a result, the nutritional content of your product will be more visible to consumers than ever before. Reformulating your product now will put you ahead of the curve.
Reformulating a food product isn’t just about changing ingredients — it’s about aligning your formulation strategy with business goals, regulatory compliance, and consumer trends. NutriLab gives you the tools to do it with confidence.
