Better-for-you snacks are harder to make. We make it work.

AI helps with research and first drafts. We use it too. A workable formula still needs testing on real equipment, and food-safety decisions need qualified review. We bring manufacturing experience, co-packer relationships, and hands-on implementation to turn ideas into a working operation.

No. No manufacturer pays Snackteva for a placement or a recommendation. We haven’t owned a plant since 2023, and we work on client fees, not tolling markup, so the plant we put you in is the one that fits your product. Some supporting vendors we introduce you to do pay a referral fee, and those are disclosed in your scope before you sign. If a facility is not right for you, we will say so and keep looking.

No. Directories match your brief to a list and step away. We prepare your product and your team for the plant, represent you inside it during pilot and first run, and manage the relationship afterward. The match is the first two weeks; the work is everything that follows. See how placement works.

A vetted network across bar formats, baked goods, and beverage, from small hourly-rate facilities to SQF-certified plants with national retail capability. We don’t publish the list. A facility that’s right for one product is wrong for another, and the recommendation only means something if it’s made for your product.

That’s most of our new engagements. We assess whether it’s the relationship, the process, or the formula, and either fix it in place or move you. A transition run at a new facility, done right, is usually cheaper than one more bad run at the old one.

Yes, and it’s a large share of our work: new products from scratch for funded startups, line extensions for established brands, and scale-up and rescue work when a formula won’t behave. It’s led by Liz, who has worked with more than 150 brands and whose formulation credits include Full Turn Nutrition and Verb Bar. Development-house expertise without development-house overhead, priced by the round. Formulation & Commercialization →

Building, not consulting. Most advisors deliver reports and recommendations. Snackteva installs operational systems, knowledge infrastructure, and accountability structures directly into your organization. The output is a functioning operational backbone, not a slide deck.

Both. Many clients are navigating hybrid models or transitioning between the two. The systems work regardless of manufacturing model, and matter most during transitions, when operational risk peaks.

Having SOPs and having an operational system are different things. Scattered documents, tribal knowledge, and manual compliance don’t survive growth. A knowledge backbone keeps institutional knowledge accessible, updatable, and audit-ready at all times.
