With that , Joe elaborates on the in-house recipe development process allowing for the introduction of Applegate ’ s most innovative products . “ Blessed with our own R & D team , we also work with a brilliant network of dietitians and nutritionists who help us develop new items . This process involves a lot of trial and error , especially considering the restrictions imposed by our list of over 700 ingredients that we will never use . Many of our products are inspired by trends within the food service industry , as we strive to stay ahead of evolving customer requirements . Nonetheless , we also invent new products by simply looking at our existing categories and working on offering cleaner alternatives . Having a long list of banned ingredients can make it challenging to develop some of these items , but we are committed to taking the necessary time and following our process to ensure that we produce high-quality products .”
