Nationwide Flax Supplier Services
Diversified Ingredients provides commercial flax sourcing for pet food, feed, and human food manufacturers across the United States. Diversified Ingredients supplies whole and milled flax to pet food, animal feed, and food manufacturers nationwide looking for a consistent omega-rich ingredient source.
We are a flax supplier with nationwide reach. Our team has been sourcing ingredients since 1987, and our portfolio includes flax alongside our broader food, feed, and pet food ingredient lineup.
Sourcing flax carries real pressure. Crop yields shift season to season. Supply chain disruptions hit unpredictably. Specifications get tightened. Audit-ready documentation gets pulled at deadline. We get it. Our team has built our processor relationships, freight networks, and quality programs to soften those blows.
Bin storage capabilities at our DI Meadville and IDS facilities support specialty grain inventory including flax. Read more on our Divisions page.
