About Us

Key Ingredients Limited was founded in 1996 with a mission statement to supply quality food ingredients to the major food manufacturers in the UK. We were created with the strengths of a strong supplier base and a blue chip customer base. Key Ingredients Limited has the ability to combine the service element with the technical, commercial and logistical expertise essential for success in the current food ingredient supply chain.

Primarily we import and distribute the ingredients from our two shareholders - Sodeleg of France and New Foods of Italy - but we have the added freedom to source quality ingredients from superior manufacturers that complement the range of our principles. Our product range is wide and diverse and includes Air-dried and Freeze-dried vegetables, herbs, fruit and Italian specialities from the following state-of-the-art manufacturers:-
