**T A M**: ~30,000 global commercial snack production lines × ~$80k/yr on quality control labor and raw seasoning waste ≈ ~$2.4B
**Growth Rate**: ~6-9%/yr, driven by soaring raw spice costs and tightening factory yield mandates
**Paid Comparable Spend**: ~$40k - $100k annually per production line allocated to manual QA technicians, legacy at-line NIR sensors, and deliberate ingredient over-application to guarantee flavor baselines
