At FFP, we believe in the power of nature. For over 65 years we’ve paired our food and beverage ingredient experts with trusted grower partners to offer an extensive portfolio of ingredients for food protection, performance, and taste. After pioneering our natural cure, we continued to expand our capabilities to help food and beverage manufacturers deliver better clean label products for the ever-evolving consumer landscape.
With solutions for processed meat, beverage, plant-based alternatives, health and wellness, culinary, and pet food needs, we can help you clean up your food and beverage labels with products that taste and perform great, and are made in the U.S. We harness the power of nature to deliver better ingredient solutions — Because Real Works®.
Sourcing You Can Trust
Raw material inconsistencies and availability can create challenges with ingredient quality and reliability of supply. That’s why it’s so important that, at FPP, we leverage our long-term relationships with trusted growers to provide our customers with uniform, in-spec ingredients throughout the year. Our carefully sourced natural ingredients also ensure ultimate product performance and taste.
Expect Expertise
We select the best raw ingredients from around the world based on the unique flavor, color, and quality elements they provide. This includes everything from sourcing fruits and vegetables from the Midwest and California to procuring the finest tea leaves from Japan.
Our long history of strong relationships and true ingredient expertise means we can help you find what you’re looking for and get it to you when and where you need it.
Our approach to strategic sourcing means our grower partners are geographically dispersed, helping us minimize risks of out-of-stocks due to unforeseeable weather or other unpredictable events.
Our strategic inventory management means we stock the best on-site, year-round. So when you reach out, we can get you what you need, when you need it. With industry-leading order On-Time And Complete (OTAC) rates, we take reliability and dependability seriously. You can count on us to deliver.
