Blending Spices into Seasonings

At Foodmaker, we’ve been making seasonings since 1983. Not the kind you grab off a shelf and hope for the best — we’re talking made-for-you, works-first-time, tastes-really-good kind of blends.

Whether you’re making something hearty, spicy, meaty or meat-free, we’re here to help you build a mix that tastes great, behaves nicely, and doesn’t throw a strop on the production line.

Here are just a few of the things we sprinkle magic on: We’ve got the kitchens, the kit, the clever people and the certifications (hello, BRCGS AA) to make sure every blend is just right — from first test to final pack.

And if you’re wondering what’s trending, FREDA, our in-house flavour-spotting genius, is already two bites ahead.

So, whether you’ve got a fully formed idea or a blank page and a growling stomach — we’ll help you turn it into something delicious.

NEXT-GEN

At Foodmaker, we stay ahead of the curve so you can too. Our development specialists analyse insights from FREDA — the backbone of our industry-leading Forecast report — to help guide your product development.

To strengthen our trend intelligence, we work with a global network of expert trend spotters through a specialist market research partner. Combined with the creativity of our in-house Development Chef, we translate emerging trends into actionable flavour concepts.

We offer engaging, insight-rich Forecast Presentations — either at your site or at Foodmaker HQ — complete with tastings to help you discover your next standout flavour.

Stay informed. Stay inspired. Stay ahead.

RE-SPICE

Got a flavour that’s lost its sparkle? A recipe that’s a bit... meh? Something a bit iffy or costs more than it should.

No worries. At Foodmaker, we love a good makeover. Our RE-SPICE service is here to jazz up those worn-out seasonings and turn them into modern, zesty flavour hits that today’s taste buds will cheer for (and tomorrow’s trends will totally back).

CLEAN-CRAVE

Foodmaker creates next-generation seasonings tailored for clean-label and health-conscious food products.

Our blends help reduce ultra-processed food (UPF) ingredients, offering options that are free from sulphur dioxide, phosphates, artificial E-numbers, and low in added salt and sugar.

Special focus areas include gluten-free, low-fat with fat replacers, low-salt, added protein, and functional raw materials like turmeric and garlic. Ranges like RE-SPICE™, COPY-CAT, and CLEAN-CRAVE™ deliver bold flavours without compromising on nutrition.

Foodmaker supports reformulation and innovation across food categories, helping brands meet modern dietary trends while maintaining great taste. Custom briefs are welcome for tailored development and collaboration.

PURE SPICE

Provenance. Purity. Performance.

At Foodmaker, we’re committed to sourcing only the finest raw materials — with a sharp focus on quality, safety, and reliability. We work closely with trusted partners, particularly in Italy, to ensure every spice and seasoning ingredient meets our exacting standards.

From steam sterilisation to microbiological and organoleptic testing, we verify each step of the process to guarantee clean, safe, and flavourful ingredients — because exceptional seasoning starts with exceptional spice.
