Processing Woodland Foods offers custom processing solutions to meet your specifications. We offer an unparalleled manufacturing process, delivering efficiency, consistency and the highest quality possible. Our options include:
  • Whole – Uncut, whole ingredients are ideal for dishes or products in which presentation value is of strong consideration.
  • Blended – Pre-blended and custom-blended ingredients are available for proprietary formulas and recipes.
  • Sliced – Sliced ingredients are ideal for items where a bite-sized piece is desired.
  • Kibbled – Cut into small pieces with a target size of 1/4 - 1/8 of an inch, kibbled ingredients allow for a more uniform distribution of ingredients in a recipe.
  • Chopped – Chopped has a significantly finer texture than kibbled product but has a larger particle size than powdered.
  • Powdered – Powdered ingredients have a fine uniform texture, a convenient solution for mixing into various applications such as sauces, soups, spice rubs and seasoning blends.
If you need a customized solution, contact a Woodland Foods representative for additional details, including order minimums and specification needs.
