Yes, you can have products made from your own recipe. Pure Foods manufactures from recipes customers already have, develops recipes based on product samples you like, and develops new recipes from scratch. Regarding recipe rights: if it is the customer's own recipe and a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) is signed, the original recipe remains the customer's and can be taken to another manufacturer. However, for recipes the company develops, ownership of the recipe belongs to the company, and the company will not use that recipe to produce products for sale to other parties.
What Types of Manufacturing Do We Offer?
| Type | What the customer prepares | Suitable for |
|---|---|---|
| Manufacturing from the customer's recipe | The recipe or method you currently use, such as your restaurant's house recipe | Restaurants that want consistent flavor across all branches, or want to sell their house sauce |
| Development from a sample | A product sample you like, plus the points you want to be different | People who know the flavor direction they want but have no recipe |
| New recipe development | Product concept, target customers, and the dishes it will be used in | New brands without a recipe yet |
All types carry a recipe development fee of THB 20,000 per recipe, with 3–5 rounds of adjustments, credited back as THB 20,000 worth of product on the first purchase order.
How Many Grams of Sample Should I Send, and How Much Will I Get Back?
Send enough sample for the R&D team to taste and analyze. The samples the factory sends back for you to taste are about 100–500 g each time. Each adjustment round takes 7–14 days.
Does a Restaurant Recipe Need Adjusting Before Factory Production?
Usually, yes, because kitchen cooking and factory production differ in batch size, equipment, time and temperature. Common adjustments include viscosity after heat treatment, color changes and stability during storage. The R&D team runs trial production on a Pilot Scale line first so the flavor stays close to the original recipe and can be reproduced consistently in every lot.
Who Owns the Recipe, and Can I Take It to Another Manufacturer?
| Case | Recipe ownership | Can it be taken to another manufacturer? |
|---|---|---|
| Customer's own recipe + signed NDA | The original recipe belongs to the customer | Yes (the customer's original recipe) |
| Improvements the company develops on top of the customer's recipe | Belongs to the company | No |
| Recipe developed by the company + signed NDA | Belongs to the company | No |
In both cases, once an NDA is signed, the company will not use that recipe to produce products for sale to other customers.

Frequently Asked Questions
I Have No Recipe at All. Can I Still Have Products Made?
Yes. The R&D team can develop a new recipe for you. Just prepare your product concept, the flavor you want, and reference samples if you have any.
Can You Match the Flavor of a Product Already on the Market?
The R&D team can use product samples as a guide for flavor development, but you should also create your own brand's point of difference. Recipes developed this way are owned by the company under the terms above.
Do I Need to Handle the Label, Thai FDA Registration and Barcode Myself?
No. The factory handles Thai FDA registration, label design and barcodes at no charge. For Halal, the factory handles the application and the customer pays the actual costs.
Summary
You can have products made from your own recipe, whether a restaurant recipe, a recipe based on a sample, or a new recipe. If it is the customer's recipe and an NDA is signed, the original recipe remains the customer's, while recipes developed by the company belong to the company but will not be produced for sale to other parties.
