Description
By means of introducing myself, my name is Matthew and I am in the process of creating a superfood plant protein bar targeting the the millennial gym market and millennials in general having recognised this target group together with the exponential growth of superfoods, protein and raw plant based food types as an emerging trend with huge growth potential.

I currently have a number of recipes/flavours, branding ideas and nutritional knowledge on the ingredients I wish to use. However, I have a huge number of questions regarding product development, preservation, packaging and essentially bringing the product to market.

I have listed a number of the key questions I have below and it would be great to understand whether you think this could be something you could help me with and provide me with some key knowledge please.

The main ingredients I will be using are plant protein powders, nuts, seeds, oats, dates, superfoods powders, nut butters, coconut oil/agave nectar, almond milk, dried fruits and possibly a number of fresh fruits. Since my ingredients are all raw and natural I am unsure of how to preserve these bars.

- How do these bars need to be packaged? Do they need to be vacuum packed or does nitrogen need to be included in the packaging to prevent oxidisation? I have found natural mixed tocopherols can be used to preserve products and to prevent oxidisation - are these viable solutions?

- My products require some water and or almond milk added to them to transform the mixture into more of a paste that will hold together. However, adding these liquids makes up 1/3 of the weight of the bar which seems much too high of a percentage; is there a way to get around this?

Main questions:
- How can I preserve these products - what natural preservatives can be used to extend shelf life?
- What packaging is required to prevent oxidisation - vacuum packed or nitrogen added into the packaging?
- What can I add to the mixture to help the ingredients stick together without having to use as much liquid i.e. a natural binding agent?
- What laws must I comply with regarding labelling? What claims are allowed to be made regarding superfoods?

Many thanks in advance and I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours faithfully

Matthew
