MANUFACTURER SUPPORT

MENU DEVELOPMENT AND SUPPORT TAILORED TO EACH MANUFACTURERS’ SPECIFIC NEEDS

Our registered dietitians develop standardized recipes for school nutrition programs that feature your products.

 

ProTeam’s consultants are uniquely qualified to provide standardized recipes and nutritional analysis for K-12 manufacturers. Our team of dietitians and creatives utilize a USDA-compliant software and an extensive product database to create compliant recipes that meet your specific needs and standards.

 
 
 

RECIPE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS

  1. Initial discussion with client to determine goals and recipe ideation for product(s).

  2. From there, our team of culinary experts and registered dietitians will brainstorm potential concepts and present them for feedback prior to testing

  3. Once recipe concepts are approved, ProTeam consultants will begin the recipe testing process and standardize the recipes for K-12 meal pattern compliance

  4. All ingredients utilized in the recipe will be entered into the USDA-approved menu planning software for nutritional analysis. ProTeam dietitians will also determine the USDA meal pattern component contributions per serving

  5. Lastly, we will provide you with a draft of each completed recipe and complete any final changes
