1) Retort rice/ Rice noodles ready meals in Indian and Thai flavors:
• HC is looking for making the shelf stable rice/ Rice noodles meals in Thailand
• Portion size is same as Uncle Bens with Veggy curry in one compartment and rice or rice noodle in another. Request Balaji to confirm the portion size of the same as veggy curry + rice/Rice noodle component. (pls see two options attached)
• BIC by Friday will send the proposed variants in this concept.
• HC will shortlist the range of products from the list
• BIC will then develop the shortlisted products and will air lift to Delhi for HC to do the sensory’s and revert with comments
• BIC will then make changes accordingly
• HC team will visit Thailand to do the final tasting and also to look at the factory
• Along with the samples BIC will send the indicative cost for HC to review if the project is commercially viable or not.
• HC wants to launch this range in India by the end of year 2015.
