Scientists and technology are very smart in this era. If we can tell what are the compositions of the edibles are to a minute details then why can’t we extract the secret formula of food and drinks like KFC and Coke?

You CAN-but it’s proprietary, copy written and such.Someone tried to sell it to Pepsi-Pepsi called the FBI and they went to prison.It would be a LOT of effort and resources , and you’d only be able to make your own private stash/supply.

They can, but there isn’t any point. You can’t sell it under the same brand, so assume you have the exact samw recipe and can make coke that tastes identical to coka cola.

You won’t be able to make it as cheaply as they do due to the absolutely insane bulk they buy everything for and make. 

So best case scenario you have real coke that you have to sell off brand for more than real coke, at which point no one will buy it.

It’s one thing to know the chemical makeup of something and a whole other how it’s made, and with what starting ingredients.

Take bread for instance, you could very easily break it down into its constituent parts, but does that inform you how it was baked?
