The food and drink sector is R&D intensive. Commercial factors, regulatory change, consumer trends and ethical factors are driving innovation across the industry.
Examples of R&D in this sector are myriad and include (but are not limited to):
- The development, testing and trialling of new products.
- The digitisation of previously manual machining processes.
- Developing new forms of environmentally-friendly packaging.
- Developing specialised tools to meet high-specification product designs.
- Changing an existing production process to comply with changing regulations.
- Integrating new technologies with legacy back-end systems.
- Making mechanical or digital modifications to production lines to increase productivity.
R&D, especially in the food and beverage industry, encompasses a wide array of different work. Don’t cram your diverse innovation into a rigid R&D tax service. ForrestBrown’s flexible approach helps you make claims that are robust, cost-effective and timely.
