How IFI can help your business
We specialise in creating bespoke dry and liquid seasonings to cater for the specific needs of butchers, farm shops, regional grocers and food manufacturers.
With a wide range of added value oil-based marinades, sauces, crumbs and fillings, plus traditional sausage and burger mixes and savoury bakery ingredients, our aim is to give you and your customers something different.
Food manufacturers, butchers and meat retailers now want to design and market dishes with different continental flavours.
When they need new ideas to extend their ranges, we have the experience and technical knowhow to provide customised food ingredients solutions.
