New recipes, reformulation for GCC rules and a pilot run on the real line — for drinks and snacks.
No recipe needed to start
Development starts here: adjustments, reformulation, targeted R&D.
Pilot run on the real line. A full pilot is credited against the first production run.
UAE non-alcoholic malt beverage — a partner project: shelf niche and formula. Examples.
Every ingredient checked against GCC rules and for halal status.
How development works
We start from where your product will sell and at what price — then build the recipe that fits.
Channel, shelf price, format, taste benchmark. You describe it — no formula needed.
Ingredients permitted in the GCC, halal-checked, sugar and cost tuned for the channel.
Tested under real storage and transport, so your expiry date is backed by evidence.
A run on the real line, sized to the test — samples for buyers, proof for production.

360 F&B HUB develops and reformulates beverage and snack recipes for brands launching in the UAE, GCC, MENA and India. We start from your channel and shelf price, then build a recipe with ingredients permitted under GCC rules, test shelf life in the real pack and prove it on a pilot run at own or partner facilities. You can come with only an idea and a taste benchmark.
Product development starts from AED 15,000 excluding VAT. That covers recipe adjustments, reformulation and targeted R&D tasks. Full development of a new recipe from scratch is quoted per project, after we understand the product, channel and price target. A pilot run starts from AED 35,000. Send a 2-minute brief and we reply with a cost range within 2 working days.
A pilot run is a small production run on the real line and in the real pack — sized to test the channel, not to fill a warehouse. It proves the recipe at scale, confirms shelf life and gives you samples for buyers. Pilots start from AED 35,000; a full pilot is credited against the first production run if you proceed.

Yes. We check every ingredient and additive against GCC rules, review halal status down to flavour carriers, and adjust sugar where it changes the price: the UAE taxes sweetened drinks by sugar content, and energy drinks carry excise tax. Claims on the label must match the formula. Reformulation starts from AED 15,000 and feeds straight into registration.
No. Many projects start from an idea, a target channel and a product you'd like to beat. We develop or adjust the recipe from there. To get a cost range, a description is enough — please don't send recipes or formulas by chat or email. If it's too early for development, we'll tell you honestly what to do first. Book a call.
The recipe stays yours. You never need to share a formula to get a cost range, and we discuss confidentiality on the call before any technical details change hands. Paid development starts only under a contract with prepayment, which sets out what each side does. Production runs at own and partner facilities chosen for your product.
Yes. Beverages come first, snacks too. Snacks and food: scope and formats confirmed per product after a short call. Examples include MAJLIS (a UAE non-alcoholic malt beverage, shelf positioning and formula work) and SCANDALIST (a functional energy drink line) — both partner projects that came to us. See the case studies and beverage co-packing for new brands.
We test shelf life in the final pack under real storage and transport conditions, not only in the lab, so your expiry date is backed by evidence that buyers and the authority can see. For snacks we also choose packs with a barrier against moisture, oxygen and light.
The recipe goes into registration — Dubai Municipality in the UAE, SFDA if Saudi Arabia is in the plan — and into packaging design, so the label matches the formula before anything is printed. Then a pilot run and production in waves at own and partner facilities. You choose which of these steps we run; see all services.
Describe your product in one message — no formula needed.
