We had the exact same problem at Genentech during the great stopper crisis of 1997. Fortunately, by applying stringent, statistically-based, inspection sampling procedures to all incoming raw materials, we were able to lick the dreaded heterogeneity problem.
"'Green Sauces' are an important product group for Buitoni Pesto Basilico. Their quality and flavour profile are enhanced by the basil used in production. However, Buitoni faced sensory profile reproducibility problems due to heterogeneous raw material, challenging the production of uniform quality." - Nestle product report.
