      STORY 01 · MONEY

      Where does a $6.92 jar's money go?

      1. You set your price to the distributor.
      2. The distributor adds a markup.
      3. The store adds its margin. That is the shelf price.

      Measured vs what the label may show

      Pick a nutrient, then slide or click the chart

      Federal rule
      47 kcal

      Federal labeling rule for Nutrition Facts (21 CFR 101.9). Sugar counts about 4 kcal per gram.

      STORY 03 · DATES

      The dates every food maker should have on the wall.

      Two changes reach every food maker who sells to stores: traceability records for foods on the FDA list, and 2-D barcodes at the checkout.

      0days until checkouts are ready for 2-D barcodes (Sunrise 2027, end of 2027)
      0days until FDA may enforce FSMA 204 records (not before Jul 20, 2028)
      0days since the FSMA 204 rule was published (Nov 21, 2022)

      STORY 04 · BUYERS

      Is a broker worth it, and who do you call first?

      A broker takes a share of your sales. A good buyer list means you only call stores that already carry food like yours.
