Frequently Asked Questions

Secondly, we recommend taking some time to read through the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) section below. This resource is designed to address many of the common queries we receive and may provide immediate answers to some of your initial questions. Reviewing this information can offer valuable clarity, set expectations and help you better understand our approach before getting started.

  •  

    Yes, we develop a wide range of products in-house in our development kitchen, including powders, liquids, and functional chocolates.

     

    Our expert product development team handles everything from formulation to recipe development, to packaging and compliance, ensuring that each product meets the highest quality standards.

     

    However, for certain specialised products such as gummies and protein bars, we collaborate with trusted external partners to ensure they are developed and produced to the same high standards. This comprehensive approach allows us to offer a diverse product range tailored to your needs

  • We operate an integrated manufacturing model.
     

    While BLC does not own or run its own factories, we are fully responsible for the manufacturing of your products. We procure and own the raw materials, manage quality and compliance, and oversee production and logistics end-to-end.
    Manufacturing is carried out through a carefully selected network of contract blenders, fillers and packers, all operating to BLC standards and under our control.

  • Unfortunately our MOQs are non-negotiable and need to be met. This is largely dictated by the MOQs of individual ingredients.​

  • Samples are created as part of the Product Development process and you will be able to discuss this in more detail once we have reviewed your brief.

  • We do not hold stock of any items or offer drop shipping services but we can deliver your finished units to your chosen 3PL provider or FBA warehouse.

  • Our business model enables us to produce your goods in a facility that meets your requirements. This includes a wide range of quality and manufacturing certifications, such as Informed Sport, BRC, GMP, etc. If you have any certification preferences or requirements please let us know.

  •  

    It is uncommon for recipes to be classed Intellectual Property and the protection for brands typically comes down to the branding and design of the finished product (which you can manage/own). The ingredients list legally needs to be included on pack, which means it is within the public domain as soon as you go to market.

     

    In more specific terms, BLC creates a Product Specification for every product, which includes a full ingredient list with dosages for all active ingredients, along with the nutritional information. Each client is welcome to use the Product Specification however they need. The only information that is not disclosed is the breakdown of the flavour system, which is deemed confidential and doesn’t legally need to be included on pack.

  • All ingredients are thoroughly tested before production and supported by a Certificate of Analysis but further testing is available upon request, if needed. Testing requirements often vary across clients and projects but please let us know what you require and we can help make the arrangements.

  • Yes, we can include a UK Compliance Review as part of our process, which includes the generation of recommended on-pack text along with a review of your final artwork before print. We do not offer International Compliance or import/export services but may be able to refer you to a consultant who can help with international regulations.
