Answer 1

Measuring by weight is the key factor here. Getting a perfectly homogeneous mixture with non-soluble ingredients is pretty much impossible, but getting the proportions correct is much easier to achieve. The next factors are quality control and supply chain management. To deliver a consistent product, the components of that product need to be delivered in a consistent condition. Some businesses can choose to go vertical, and have fine-grained control by owning the production of their raw materials/ingredients. Others have less control/consistency and depend on b2b partnerships to deliver goods. Generally these partnerships are governed by SLA’s to help ensure consistency and reliability of service.
