Chapter 2

Our first product to market.

After the trials and tribulations of getting financial backers doing the R&D getting equipment, applying for patents etc our first products started to move toward commercial reality.

First product out of the snack process was a low fat baked potato chip / crisp. between 1 and 5% fat ( healthy stuff like olive or sunflower oil)
( in doing our research we found that oils like canola or olestra had too many google hits on "issues with" "oil name or type" that made us frankly a bit concerned with long term potential health issues so we went with lovely oils that man had consumed for thousands of years like olive and sunflower oil.)

This chip needs a bit of tender loving care in its manufacture and processing because it doesn't have a lot of fat in it to hold flavour or give that greasy mouth feel of kettle or fried chips.

cont in Chapter 3
