Testimonials

We help craft Success Stories

“We had a very positive experience working with Thinking Forks to explore the role of certain ingredients in creating target dairy products. Their team was well structured with the right technical experts in recipe development, packaging and project management. Through a clearly communicated iterative process, they mapped out the landscape, helped us with benchmarking and developed robust prototypes that met our expectations. Additionally, they provided us with clear SOPs, enabling us to replicate the manufacturing process in-house. We are very satisfied with the outcome and highly recommend Thinking Forks for their professionalism and expertise.”

Dole started engaging Thinking Forks since 2020. Thanks to their expertise, we have been able to identify and fix critical issues, significantly improving our product development process, demo application’s performance and customer experience. We appreciate their dedication, flexibility, and commitment to delivering high-quality results. Their collaboration has been seamless, and their team has been a pleasure to work with.

“The Thinking Forks team understood our vision and translated our product philosophy into a range of shelf-ready and shipping-ready products that look great and taste delicious. From quality control and manufacturing, to packaging and regulatory requirements, their inputs reflect their solid expertise. Their training to our team, in particular, was quite invaluable.”

We approached Thinking Forks to help re-formulate our products as well as to update our packaging and on both fronts, they were gracious to go out of their way to guide us and see it to fruition. The team also shares valuable business insights on trends in the F&B industry that we could capitalize on.

Thinking Forks is a pivotal partner that has taken us from idea to launch and beyond in a short year and a half! Our progress thus far would not have been possible without Thinking Forks’ expertise and guidance. They helped commercialize our recipe from scratch, working on everything from flavor development, nutritional analysis, claims and packaging specs, to working with our co-manufacturing facility to tweak the product for large scale production.

Rinka has been instrumental in developing our protein range of bars. Her team was diligent, prompt, took ownership and pride in the work they did. They even went beyond their scope to suggest suppliers and processes to us. We were grateful for the partnership. All in all we were happy to work with Rinka and her team who helped propel our product proposition to the market stronger.
