3 Types of Suppliers

​In the food and beverage industry, innovation is everywhere - from clean-label reformulations to functional superfoods. But no matter how exciting your product is, it’s only as reliable as the partners behind it. That’s why choosing the right ingredient supplier isn’t just a logistical decision—it’s a strategic one.

Not All Suppliers Are Created Equal
The market is filled with options, but many fall into two extremes:
Corporate giants often treat you like a number. They’re slow to respond, rigid in their processes, and lack the transparency and flexibility that growing brands need.

On the other end of the spectrum, fly-by-night suppliers may seem attractive at first—often offering low prices and quick turnaround. But they usually lack the infrastructure, quality control, and traceability necessary for long-term success. And when something goes wrong, they disappear just as fast as they showed up.
