Byzas "An extension of your in house capabilites"

Cooking Guideline Validation


Research indicates that consumers rely on accurate and reliable cooking guidelines, with a significant majority of consumers either always or sometimes using this information. Many retailer and brand policies specify testing requirements for due diligence, and to ensure that the consumers experience the product at its best.

Our validation service is a great independent final check for customers, with either an existing instruction or one they have generated in house, that needs an independent check that both thermal and quality requirements are achieved. If you haven't already got a guideline to validate or would prefer to have our team determine the best possible cooking guideline, using our wide range of calibrated appliances, please see more information about our generation and validation service here.

All of our validation offerings include pre cook photographs, post cook photographs, pre and post cook weights and organoleptic comments. Many retailer policies specify requirements for these and we don't believe in hidden extras.
