FAQ for this audience
Which diet formats can you manufacture?
Diet jelly sticks, gummies, powder sticks, tablets, capsules and RTD drinks.
Ask about thisCan we claim body-fat reduction?
Only when an MFDS-recognized functional ingredient is used at its approved daily intake and the copy clears advertising pre-screening. Weight-loss wording is refused.
Ask about thisWhat is the MOQ for diet products?
Powder stick 1,000; jelly and gummy 2,000; tablet and liquid stick 3,000; capsule and RTD 5,000.
Ask about thisIs production below MOQ 1,000 possible?
Powder and stick can run from 500 units with a 40–60% higher unit cost. Tablets, capsules and softgels are not feasible below their MOQ due to line setup.
Ask about thisWhich diet format launches fastest?
Powder sticks and jelly sticks have the fastest line turnaround at 6–8 weeks; capsules and RTD run 10–14 weeks.
Ask about thisDo health functional foods and functional foods with claims differ in licensing?
Yes — health functional foods require MFDS-recognized ingredients and ad pre-review, while functional foods with claims need scientific evidence notification, with different labeling rules.
Ask about thisHow is the COGS of a diet product structured?
Roughly ingredients 45–65%, packaging 15–25%, processing 10–20%, licensing and logistics 3–8%. Formula optimization and larger MOQ cut cost; mold and film setup is a one-time charge.
Ask about thisCan you absorb peak diet-season volumes?
Yes — format-specialized plants run in parallel across the consortium to absorb peaks and multi-SKU lines, and we forecast reorder timing from early sales data.
Ask about thisCan we preview a diet formula in the AI Formula Lab?
Yes — enter your concept at /bdl-formula-lab for a public-data-verified draft; process and licensing evidence is published at /docs/oem-odm-process-guide.md and /docs/hff-approval-checklist.md.
