Food R&D

Research Chefs Association Logo A long-time member of the Research Chefs Association, Butterfield Foods prides itself on rapid development of R&D prototypes that embody your menu objectives. This is to be expected, as the Butterfield’s research team is led by one of the few certified Research Chefs in the country.

Our philosophy, unique in the industry, is to achieve “Gold Standard” formulations, before engineering cost reductions. This approach preserves culinary integrity, while providing exceptional customer value.

Similarly, Butterfield’s will research ingredients, packaging and label issues that will optimize your total approach to concept development and execution. Producing samples is merely a step toward success. Making your product production ready, with a USDA approved label, is equally critical to your ultimate success.
