HFI adds two new specialty mills

Healthy Food Ingredients has increased its capabilities with two new specialty mills, expanding its vertical integration within its Valley City, N.D., and Watertown, S.D., facilities.

The special ingredient company now has the ability to process in-house a full range of gluten-free pulses, ancient grains and seeds into custom-milled consumer-ready flours. Products are shipped to various industry channels including manufacturers or packed for private label retail in HFI’s facility.

The Fargo, North Dakota-based company said the new mill in HFI’s Watertown, Sout Dakota, facility provides extensive cereal grain ingredient offerings, including whole, finely milled and blended. 

“We are pleased to create a more diverse offering of cereal grain ingredient options to meet the growing demand from manufacturers with our enhanced milling opportunities,” said Jay Johnson, HFI’s chief operating officer.

HFI’s Watertown facility processes a variety of clean label cereal grains including all types of wheat, rye, barley and sorghum.

“With the addition of our allergen-free mill in Valley City, N.D., we are meeting the needs of our customers, including micro-reduction processing under our IntegriPure brand,” noted Johnson. “This mill provides complete vertical integration under the HFI portfolio. We manage each step, beginning with our sustainable supply chain, to deliver food safety assurance with traceability.”
