Mission West Community Development Partners will host a free food formulation workshop titled “How to Turn a Recipe into a Commercial Formula” from 9 a.m.-4:30 p.m. April 5 at the office on Main Street in Ronan.

Turning a recipe into a successful food product can be an intimidating process. This workshop includes presentations by product development food scientists from Oregon State University’s Food Innovation Center.

Workshop topics include: turning a recipe into a formulation; scaling up production; cost of goods sold; developing a process outline; tips for different processing methods; important food safety metrics to consider; and working with Excel. Product categories cover sauces, beverages, bars, baked products and more.

The workshop takes place in the morning; the afternoon session consists of one-

on-one confidential meetings with the food scientists.
