Why should you use base blends?
By combining all your ingredients into a base blend, you can dramatically decrease the number of hand-adds and weight measurements, which markedly improves your manufacturing efficiencies and safety by minimizing spots for errors. These types of mixes simplify your production so employees can pour one single blend instead of numerous hand-adds slowed down by ingredient weighing. You reduce their task time and decrease your risk, saving money on labor costs and investigations into quality control issues.
Base blends are typically included in diets from 3% to 40%.
