Dry mix and seasoning co-packers
Seasonings, rubs, baking mixes and drink mixes. Every fact is checked against the manufacturer's own published information, with the date we checked it.
Seasonings, rubs and mixes ship as powders, so the package often decides the plant: stick packs, pouches, canisters or bulk bags. Published minimums run large. A co-manufacturing platform's examples include 50,000 pounds for dry seasonings1, and one consultancy puts stick-pack powder runs at 5,000 to 100,000 or more units2.
This section groups plants by what they make. The dry blending section lists plants by the process instead, which helps when your product is a powder that does not fit a food category.
