Blue Dot Ingredient Solutions helps food, supplement, and companion animal ingredient companies expand into new global markets with clarity and confidence.
I specialize in regulatory coordination and market entry strategy, focusing on functional ingredients like biotics, natural actives, and other science backed ingredients.
See What We’re Working With
I’ll want to spend a little time getting to know you and your company. Where are you on the commercialization path? What kind of safety and efficacy work is already in place? Do you have any international incoming leads or distributor inquiries?
Current State and Future Goals
I take a fresh eyed look at your current regulatory and compliance situation so that we can immediately begin addressing gaps that could slow the process later. I will match this with your ambitions for expansion and decide what to prioritize.
International Business Case
We can work together and take a deep dive into the most important global markets for your ingredients to expand into. There may be strategic reasons to pursue some markets rather than others and these can vary based on your ingredient and positioning. I won’t waste time getting approved somewhere you’ll never sell.
Strategic Regulatory Guidance
Based on the most important markets, I will help you develop and execute a plan to get your ingredients approved and come up with competitive but compliant claims language - depending on your risk tolerance :) In almost all cases, this will involve working with local regulatory consultants who speak the language, know the unwritten rules, and have done this before.
Distribution and Sales
We will work together to establish relationships with reliable distributors who can navigate selling your products whether it’s just up the road in Canada, or halfway around the world. I will help you identify solid partners, train them on your products and help them build a pipeline of engaged prospects.
Unified International Strategy
Ideally, the regulatory work will conclude with an approval, and your new distribution partners will already have a pipeline of interested customers. Often the distributors will have solid in-house regulatory staff who can assist with approvals and claims, and sometimes a regulatory consultant will recommend an excellent distributor. The Regulatory and Commercial worlds intersect more than one might expect.
