Answer 3

Start producing & packaging the food on your own & selling it locally in neighborhood outlets, flea markets, local festivals, etc. If it catches on expand production & sales as you go. Major food manufacturers contininuously develop their own new products & don't need to pay you to do it for them. Large food retailers charge enormous "slotting fees" to people wanting to get shelf space for new lines, so enormous that only the major food producers can afford them.
