eli5 if I created a BBQ sauce and used a copacker, could they just steal my recipe

514 views

I had a bbQ recipe I wanted to monetize. If I got too big and used a copacker, what is actually stopping them from recreating my recipe? Their lack of marketing? Make more money as a copacker? Fear of being sued? I just dont get the basics I guess.

Pretty much nothing save for any caveats in any contracts you sign. Recipes aren’t patentable. What is patentable is any novel process you invented to produce the sauce. The other company just has to suddenly decide to drop their current contract packing business plan and decide to compete with you. Possible but it’s not a very good risk/reward proposition.
