Sausage Seasonings

Flavour is what makes your sausages stand out — and we’re here to help you get it right, every time.

We also offer clean label and allergen-aware options, designed to meet today’s market demands. With blends that boost succulence, texture, and taste, we’ll help keep your products competitive and your customers coming back.

Re-Spicing

Even the best loved sausages can lose their edge over time. When flavours start to feel flat or tired, we can help breathe new life into your range. Our flavour specialists work with you to review, refine, and revamp your existing recipes - keeping the essence of what makes them popular, while giving them a sharper, fresher twist.

That might mean:

• Enhancing flavour with standout top notes
• Building complexity by moving from plain garlic to roasted varieties
• Boosting impact with paprika of higher ASTA strength for richer colour and taste
• Adding freshness through herb oleoresins instead of dried powders


This is not about cutting corners - it is about keeping your sausages relevant, distinctive, and performing at their best. Think of it as flavour maintenance for your brand: a way to keep your classics strong while giving customers something new to enjoy.

Low Salt

Low-Salt Sausages that still deliver on flavour

Today’s consumers want more than taste. They expect cleaner labels, healthier claims, and low-salt recipes.

Our Flavour-First Reformulation delivers bespoke low-salt seasonings that cut sodium but keep succulence, texture, and flavour intact.

Our development team works with you to:

• Review your current sausage seasoning and set reduction targets
• Reformulate with reduced sodium while protecting flavour and texture

Low Fat

Low-Fat Sausages without compromise

Cutting fat in sausage production often means losing mouthfeel — that juicy, satisfying bite customers expect disappears.

We’ve created special seasoning blends that work with our Fat Replacer system, made just for sausages. They bring back the juiciness, rebuild the texture, and deliver that satisfying bite missing in leaner recipes.

Our proven systems help you:

• Retain moisture through cooking and storage
• Carry flavour more effectively in lean sausages
• Restore juicy bite for consistent customer satisfaction
• Stay compliant with nutritional targets while keeping taste on point

With Foodmaker, you don’t have to choose between lean specs and delicious sausages — you can have both.
