Blend millet flour for a clearly described cooking purpose.

A CONCRETE EXAMPLE · ILLUSTRATIVE

Fictional adult-cooking porridge-flour blend: one hundred 500 g packs, fifty kg, from thirty kg assessed finger-millet flour and twenty kg assessed maize flour. This illustrative 60:40 flavour/use formulation is not infant food, medical nutrition or an instant product. Distinguish finger millet from pearl millet in procurement and labels; do not apply a pearl-millet identity standard blindly. Qualified food support approves ingredient controls, cooking directions and shelf life.

Who is the first customer?
