A webinar for R&D & Product Development Leaders in F&B
Is your F&B formulation data preventing you from releasing the next viral product?
“The $10 Billion Formula in Cell B12: Discovering The Next Viral Product in F&B”
Formulation data is the most valuable asset a food and beverage company owns, and most of it lives in spreadsheets, shared drives and legacy PLM systems built for bolts, not recipes. That's a margin problem, a compliance problem, and soon an AI problem: no model can learn from formulas nobody can find, trust or trace. In this session, we'll make the case that formula data needs to be governed like the asset it is, and show what that looks like in practice.

- The "10 Questions Before You Invest in AI" guide

About the Webinar
Your most valuable formula is one ‘save’ away from disappearing
Somewhere in your organization, a formula worth more than most of your brands' annual revenue lives in a spreadsheet cell. Someone can overwrite it, email it to the wrong supplier, or lose it when the only person who understands it retires. No version history. No audit trail.
Your formulations are the core of your brand's value. They carry decades of R&D investment and determine your margin, your regulatory standing, and how fast you reach the shelf. Yet at most food and beverage companies, that asset is scattered across spreadsheets, shared drives, aging PLM and ERP systems, and individual laptops.
In this executive session, Uncountable Product Manager Brenda Jaroker lays out the business case for treating product data as a strategic asset and shows what leading F&B companies are already doing. You'll see why legacy PLM, built for discrete manufacturing, never fit formulated products, and what a modern, AI-ready platform built for R&D looks like instead.
Look Familiar?
Don't let the next big product get lost in all your product and formulation data.

What You'll Learn & Key Takeaways
What your spreadsheets are costing you, and what leading brands do instead
- Put a number on your product data. Get a framework for valuing formulation data as a strategic asset, tied to margin, launch speed, and compliance.
- Find the hidden cost of fragmentation. Pinpoint where scattered R&D data quietly adds weeks to launches, restarts reformulations, and creates allergen and labeling exposure.
- See why legacy PLM never fit F&B. Learn how LIMS, Quality and QC tools, and PLM built for discrete manufacturing break on recipes, batches, sensory data, and ingredient variability.
- Know what a modern R&D platform looks like. Understand the capabilities that let formulators, regulatory, and operations teams work from one connected source of truth.
- Pressure-test your AI plans. Get the questions to ask before investing in AI, and the data readiness signals that predict whether it will pay off.
- Build a governance model leadership can own. Define exactly who owns formula data, how it is versioned and approved, and how to measure progress.
- Live Q&A with Brenda Jaroker. Bring your own scenario and get a direct answer from Uncountable's industry solutions and product expert. Questions answered live are not re-run in the recording.
- Product Data Risk Scorecard, scored live. Rate your organization in a 5-question poll, and Brenda shows the aggregate results against industry patterns. Only live attendees see their peers' answers.

The Hidden Cost
The cost is real, even when it never appears on a line item
Featured Speaker

Meet The Speaker
Building software for how formulated products are actually developed
Brenda Jaroker is a Product Manager at Uncountable. She builds software used by R&D, Quality, Product Lifecycle, Project Portfolio, and Regulatory and Compliance teams at companies that develop formulated products, from food and beverage to specialty chemicals, coatings, and cosmetics.
Her work addresses a core challenge for these organizations: formulation data is among their most valuable intellectual property, yet it often lives in spreadsheets, shared drives, and legacy systems never designed for it. She focuses on products built around how formulas are actually developed, with AI built into how they function. She also works with both technical teams and business leaders to show how connected product data can inform portfolio, margin, and compliance decisions.
Brenda holds a B.A. in Mathematics, Computer Science, and English from Williams College in Massachusetts.
Who Should Attend?
Built for leaders across product development
If you lead product development in food and beverage, or in any formulation-based industry, this session is for you.
R&D Executives
CTO, CSO, SVP/VP R&D, Chief Innovation Officer, VP Product Development
Your formulas are worth billions. Can you account for all of them?
Without a clear view of your full product portfolio, launches slip and R&D spend gets harder to defend to the board.
Formulation Leaders
Director of Product Development, Formulation, or R&D Operations; Principal Scientist; Innovation Manager
Is your team re-running experiments it already did?
When past work can't be found, teams repeat old trials and lose time reconciling spreadsheets instead of formulating.
Compliance & Regulatory
VP/Director of Regulatory Affairs, Food Safety, Quality Assurance, Product Compliance
How exposed is your formula data?
One wrong cell can mean one recall. Version drift between recipe, spec, and label creates allergen, claim, and recall risk.
Digital & AI Leaders
CIO, CDO, VP Digital, Head of R&D Informatics, Data and AI leaders
You can't build AI on data you can't find.
AI pilots stall on scattered, unstructured data, and legacy systems won't connect. See how a connected data model solves it.
Operations & Sourcing
VP Operations, Procurement, Supply Chain, Commercialization
When an ingredient disappears, how fast can you reformulate?
Supply shocks and cost spikes force slow, manual reformulations across many SKUs at once.
Ingredient & Flavor Innovators
R&D, Application, and Technical Service leaders at flavor, ingredient, and co-manufacturing companies
Every custom formula you've built is an asset. Are you reusing it?
Too often every brief starts from scratch, and formulation knowledge stays siloed by account.
