HSC has a premium image in the market, and most of its customers are loyal and willing to pay a bit extra to get the healthy choice that HSC offers.

The materials are then mixed and processed for consistency, cooked, given a final inspoction, and packaged. All materials are added only at the beginning of the first process. The inspections in the first and final processes are made at the end of those respective processes, so all direct materials and conversion costs are lost for any defective units detected at the inspection point.
