Onboarding
Roadmap

Start your project with Clean Label Gourmet Foods. Our onboarding process helps us understand your needs, evaluate whether your project is a fit, and agree on the next steps. The roadmap below explains what to expect.

Inquiry

Email sales@clgfoods.com to get started. You will receive an automatic reply explaining the information needed to begin our onboarding process.

Follow the instructions in that reply so we can learn about your project and what you need from us.

CLGF NDA

We prefer to have our CLGF Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) signed before moving forward with detailed project discussions.

Our sales team can provide the NDA and coordinate the next steps before you share confidential recipes or other proprietary information.

Project Details

Provide the project details requested in our onboarding reply. These details help us understand your product, packaging needs, and production goals.

If we need more information, we will follow up before completing our review.

Project Fit Analysis

Once we have your project details, we will review them through our Project Fit Analysis to determine whether the project is a fit for Clean Label Gourmet Foods.

We will let you know the outcome either way. If the project is a fit, we will discuss next steps with you.

Discuss Next Steps

For projects that are a fit, we will discuss the scope of work, any remaining questions, and the steps needed to move forward.

This may include a discovery call and a review of packaging, process documentation, and sample requirements. The sequence will depend on your project.

Packaging & Process Review

We will review your proposed packaging and the process documentation relevant to your product, including any applicable process schedule or validation study.

Let us know whether you already work with packaging vendors and what documentation is available. We will discuss any additional information needed as part of the next steps.

Samples

When samples are needed, we will coordinate with you on what to provide and how to send them. Product and packaging samples help us evaluate compatibility with our equipment and your requirements.

Please coordinate sample submissions with our sales team before shipping.

Agreement & Onsite Visits

Onsite visits are not permitted until an agreement is in place.

Once an agreement is completed, we can discuss whether an onsite visit is appropriate and coordinate arrangements. Signing the NDA is an early onboarding step; it does not by itself authorize a facility visit.

Finding the Right Fit

Not every project is a fit for our capabilities. Our Project Fit Analysis helps us determine whether we can support your needs before moving forward.

We will communicate our decision whether or not the project is a fit. To begin, email sales@clgfoods.com.
