Gluten-free baking service in Kenya

Offer gluten-free baking only with suitable ingredient and cross-contact controls.

A CONCRETE EXAMPLE · ILLUSTRATIVE

Fictional controlled baking-service enquiry:12 gluten-free cupcakes, with ingredients supplied by the customer only after a competent reviewer approves their exact bill, claims and control system. The cost example is the operator service fee only: it does not hide unverified ingredient quantities in a materials allowance. Production is not bookable until the actual recipe and supply are documented; a Kenyan bread-mix listing is not evidence for a cupcake mix.

Who is the first customer?

Customers requiring a reliably specified product.

Test the offer

Obtain competent guidance on claims and test the production controls before selling.
