I'm currently working with a founder who has two SKUs running below zero margin. The product sells. It just costs more to make than they charge for it. In this episode, I walk through exactly how that happens — ingredient inflation, hidden co-manufacturing costs, and how to build a pricing structure that can absorb years of pressure from day one. TOPICS COVERED • The real story: two SKUs below zero margin • Why ingredient inflation isn't a one-time hit • Hidden co-manufacturing costs most founders never see coming • How to build a pricing structure that absorbs pressure • What to do if you're already underwater on margin Get the recipe scaling and costing template here 📌 Ready to get your product scale-ready the right way? ➡ Take the Scale Up & Retail Readiness Quiz — [Take Quiz here] ➡ Join the Emerging Food Business Hub — [Join here]
