New Product Development
Great burgers start with great flavour — and we are here to help you create it. Our development team works closely with burger manufacturers to design bespoke mixes and seasonings that match your exact brief. Whether you need a completely new recipe or a tailored twist on a classic, we can bring your flavour ideas to life.
We understand the demands of todays markets. From supermarkets to schools and university catering (where restrictions on MSG, phosphates, gluten, or preservatives may apply) to premium retail ranges with clean label requirements, we create blends that meet your technical needs, cost parameters, and flavour goals. Simply tell us the profile you want — and we will craft it.
Alongside new product creation, we also provide confidential recipe matching. If you would like us to replicate an existing blend, we will do so with complete discretion, backed by confidentiality agreements if required.
With our expertise, you will gain innovative flavours that perform in production, comply with regulations, and give your burgers a competitive edge.

Commercial Benchmark
Do you know the true cost of your current seasoning blend?
Our Commercial Benchmarking service gives you clarity. We analyse your recipe cost profile and provide a clear, reliable price per kilo estimate - helping you see exactly where your money is going.
Armed with this insight, you can negotiate smarter with suppliers, plan more effectively, and uncover opportunities for savings. And if it makes sense, we can even develop and supply the blend ourselves - often with better value and equal or improved performance.
How We Do It
We combine smart software analysis with hands on technical expertise. Our process allows us to:
- Identify key ingredients and approximate quantities
- Understand what drives flavour and cost in your blend
- Benchmark your recipe against commercial standards
On top of the science, our development team brings over 60 years of seasoning know how. They use data, lab work, and tasting expertise to spot improvements, suggest refinements, and deliver blends that hit the mark - or even raise the bar.
Commercial Benchmarking: insight that protects margins and strengthens your products.

Smart Savings
We know that ingredient costs can make or break margins in sausage manufacturing. That is why we work with you to optimise recipes without compromising quality. Our cost reduction service identifies smart substitutions that lower spend while keeping the flavour, texture, and customer experience consistent.
It is about being proactive in the face of rising raw material prices, market volatility, or tighter targets - ensuring your products stay competitive and profitable.
Examples of Smart Cost Savings
- Replacing ground black pepper with concentrated black pepper oleoresin - same aroma and impact, at a fraction of the cost
- Swapping fresh garlic for high quality dehydrated powder or flavour compounds
- Using dried herbs in cooked sausages where the flavour difference is minimal
- Switching from whole spices to standardised extracts, oils, or blends with lower unit costs
What It Is Not
This is not about cutting corners. It is about precision changes that:
- Reduce ingredient costs
- Avoid new labelling or allergen issues
- Keep the authentic taste and performance of your sausages intact
With our expertise, you can protect margins without losing the flavours your customers know and love.

Flavour Matching
Not every flavour needs reinventing - sometimes the goal is to replicate it perfectly. At Scobie & Junor, our Flavour Matching Service ensures you get a seasoning that looks, tastes, and performs just like the original, with the added benefit of consistent quality and dependable supply.
We take the time to understand your goals - whether that is reducing cost, replacing a current supplier, or recreating a customer favourite - and we will develop high quality blends tailored to your needs, with full confidentiality assured.
We take the time to fully understand your existing product, how you use it, what it is for, and the role each ingredient plays. Our expert team then formulates and trials matched blends, using rigorous triangle testing to compare your control sample with our version. Only when it passes do we send it for you to trial in production.
What you can expect from our Matching Service:
- A dedicated Development Specialist for your project
- In depth analysis of your existing product and ingredient breakdown
- Careful formulation and in house trials to ensure accuracy
- Triangle testing against your control sample for proven results
- Consistent, high quality supply of your matched blend
- Full confidentiality - including NDAs where required
The result is a flavour you can trust - matched with precision, tested for consistency, and ready to keep your sausages performing at their best.

Flavour Revival
Even the best loved burgers can lose their edge over time. When flavours start to feel tired or out of step with current tastes, we can help breathe new life into your range. Our flavour specialists work with you to review, refine, and revamp your existing recipes - keeping the essence of what makes them popular, while giving them a sharper, fresher twist.
That might mean:
- Brightening a top note with a more aromatic citrus oil
- Adding depth by switching from plain cumin to toasted
- Swapping out a flat paprika for one with richer colour and heat
- Boosting freshness with vibrant herb oleoresins instead of dried powders
This is not about cutting corners - it is about keeping your burgers relevant, distinctive, and performing at their best. Think of it as flavour maintenance for your brand: a way to keep your classics strong while giving customers something new to enjoy.
