Not surprised you didn't get an answer. I'm sure that at the least, they would want you to sign a "non-disclosure" agreement (after all...they're trying to establish what the brand is worth - specially when combined with the recipe). Second, they will want to know that you are serious..there's alot of scrupulous people that can (mis)use that information.
Your lawyer would know how to open the communication....

(btw.. they're already in the process of finalizing the sale; they may be legally bound to not discuss it until all is said and done - whether the sale goes through or not.)
