Mattson & Company

Got a bunch of money to blow and a hot idea for a new food product but don’t know where to begin? Put in a call to Mattson, the country’s première developer of food products, and watch your idea become a reality… for the right price.
The first time I visited Mattson was just after Malcolm Gladwell’s article The Bake-​off (
) — a story on Mattson’s work to develop an «open source cookie» appeared in the New Yorker.
In the food world, that made Mattson rock stars. At least in my mind.
Touring the facility, I oohed and ahhhed at every room, every cool machine tucked into their back room lab, every brand-​new Viking accessory in their performance kitchen. I gasped at the range of cool products lining their shelves — products they developed for major food companies.
Mattson does it all. From developing food products to testing products with panels of consumers to internet testing — they’re a one-​stop-​shop for all your food development needs. They can even commercialize your product, locate a copacker, and help you bring it to market if you lack that expertise.
Go on. I bet you have a couple mil to spare. Wouldn’t it be cool to see your mom’s cookies on the shelves at Albertson’s?
