Are you tempted to eat your chocolates as
you walk by the packaging line? We have two great reasons to embrace the role of a frequent
taste tester of your products without the guilt: quality and consistency. As
the owner or manager of a candy store, you want to have complete confidence the
products you are selling are not only delicious, but the same level of quality
and flavor each time.
When a customer purchases a box of toffee, they expect to
purchase the exact same product every time. Therefore, it’s extremely important
to regularly taste your candies to ensure they meet your standards for quality
and flavor.
Routine Taste Testing
If you have a quality control manager, consider adding a
consistent taste testing program to their routine. The frequency for taste
testing may vary depending on how often you produce a particular product, but
at least weekly would be the minimum recommendation.
You’ve taken the time to achieve a great flavor, so take the
time to ensure it’s consistently the same great flavor your
customers expect.
