About The Company
Diversified Foods and Seasonings is a leading food manufacturing company headquartered in Mandeville, Louisiana. Our facility in Madisonville, Louisiana has the capabilities to produce retail-size bowls and flexible pouches as well as food service flexible pouches in either a refrigerated or frozen format. In Nebraska City, Nebraska, we make a wide variety of frozen or refrigerated dishes in flexible pouches ranging from one pound to six pounds for our food service customers. Think of perfectly seasoned cooked meat mixes for filling burritos, or the creamiest macaroni and cheese imaginable, or a truly zesty BBQ dish – these are just a few of the delicious foods we create here. At Diversified, we not only make fantastic-tasting food – we also develop the ingredients that make food taste better. For example, we manufacture proprietary custom blended dry marinades, gravies, sauces, batters and breadings. Our products help to create the kind of succulent fried chicken everyone loves – with just the right spice levels in the breading. Or the delicious brown gravy that makes a hot roast beef sandwich so delectable. Our culinary team will work hand-in-hand with you to achieve the best possible product for your individual product profile and your specific marketplace. Our motto is TASTE WHAT PASSION CAN INSPIRE – and at Diversified, we live these words every day.
