Woodland Gourmet, a provider of custom culinary solutions and specialty ingredients, announced it has acquired International Spices, a developer of custom seasoning blends designed for snacks, proteins, and prepared foods. The acquisition broadens Woodland’s portfolio with high-impact blends—from potato chip seasonings and mozzarella stick coatings to signature wing dry rubs and sauce mixes. It deepens its ability to deliver value-added and customized solutions at scale.
International Spices serves industrial processors, foodservice chains, co-manufacturers, and private-label partners with tailored seasoning systems and ingredient blends. By joining Woodland, the team will tap into expanded sourcing, culinary development, commercialization, and manufacturing resources to accelerate growth.
Woodland Gourmet’s recent acquisitions also include Idan Foods (April 2024), adding breadings, batters, and coating systems, and Sevillo Fine Foods (March 2025), adding fire-roasted and pickled vegetables for speed-scratch culinary solutions. With International Spices, Woodland further strengthens its position as a full-service culinary partner, capable of addressing demand for global flavors, better-for-you formats, and step-saving ingredients across foodservice, retail, and industrial channels.
