The client develops sugar-free alternatives for retail, with a product portfolio based on natural sweeteners such as erythritol and steviol glycosides and a strategy to extend into frozen desserts. It now plans to launch a 480 ml sugar-free ice cream for EU retail and is looking for a reliable manufacturing partner able to deliver consistent quality, scalable volumes and EU-compliant labeling and shelf-life performance suitable for retail distribution. The partner may either work from the client's proprietary recipes under NDA or co-develop the final formula to meet taste and nutritional targets. Cooperation is envisaged as a long-term co-packing setup with pilot runs followed by scale-up to national and then multi-country distribution. Technical Specification or Expertise Sought Proven expertise in frozen dessert production (dairy and/or plant-based). Ability to produce 480 ml retail tubs with custom branding, tamper-evident sealing, batch coding and retail-ready secondary packaging. Certified food-safety management (IFS, BRC or equivalent) and full HACCP implementation. Capability for initial small pilot batches with a clear path to scalable production. Experience formulating with natural sweeteners (e.g., erythritol and stevia/steviol glycosides) to achieve clean taste, smooth texture, and low sugar. Svelli EU market compliance (ingredients, allergens, nutrition panel) and shelf-life stability appropriate for frozen retail logistics. Optional: storage and logistics coordination for frozen goods (added value). Expected role of a partner The partner will manufacture and package the 480 ml sugar-free ice cream under the client's brand, assure consistent product quality against agreed specifications, maintain required certifications and documentation, and coordinate cold-chain storage and outbound logistics. Co-development support is welcomed to refine recipe, process parameters and sensory profile before scale-up.
