Buy Surplus Spices & Seasonings at Below-Market Prices
We connect food manufacturers, co-packers, and seasoning blenders with verified surplus spices and dehydrated vegetables from major U.S. ingredient suppliers. Our inventory includes organic garlic, cinnamon, chili powders, dehydrated onion, jalapeño peppers, and specialty botanicals — available at 30–60% below current wholesale pricing.
Every lot ships with a Certificate of Analysis and full traceability to the original manufacturer. Most items are USDA Organic certified and warehoused domestically for fast fulfillment.
Why Food Manufacturers Source Surplus Spices & Seasonings
Spices and seasonings are among the highest cost-per-pound ingredients in food manufacturing. Even modest per-pound savings on garlic, cinnamon, or chili powder compound significantly across production runs, especially for seasoning blend companies, snack manufacturers, and prepared food producers running tight margins on flavor-forward products.
Surplus spice lots become available when food manufacturers change recipes, discontinue product lines, or overestimate seasonal demand. Organic spice suppliers frequently generate surplus when crop yields exceed contracted volumes. The product is identical to full-price wholesale — same origin, same organic certification, same COA — but available at a fraction of the cost because the original buyer's production plans changed. We verify all documentation and coordinate logistics so your procurement team gets a clean, auditable transaction.

Types of Surplus Spices & Seasonings We Regularly Source
We handle surplus lots across the full spectrum of dried spices, dehydrated vegetables, and seasoning ingredients used in commercial food production. Dehydrated alliums are our most frequently available category — organic garlic granules, minced garlic, minced onion, and toasted onion come through regularly from seasoning blend manufacturers. Chili and pepper products including pasilla chili powder, crushed red pepper flakes, and diced jalapeño peppers are common from snack and sauce producers. We also source cinnamon in both stick and ground form, dried herb products like organic chives, and specialty ingredients like orange peel granules and licorice root from beverage and confectionery manufacturers.
Quantities range from case-level lots to full pallets of 25,000+ pounds. If you don't see what you need listed above, join our preferred buyer network — we'll contact you when a matching lot becomes available.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are surplus spices the same quality as what I'd buy from my regular supplier? Yes. Every lot we broker is virgin surplus — sourced from the same farms, processed at the same facilities, and packaged to the same specifications as full-price wholesale. We provide the original manufacturer's Certificate of Analysis, organic certification, and any applicable Kosher or Halal documentation so your QA team can verify everything before purchase.
Why are these spices priced below market? Surplus pricing reflects the seller's circumstances, not the product quality. Common reasons include recipe changes that eliminate an ingredient from a product line, seasonal overstock from holiday production cycles, warehouse consolidation by distributors, and organic crop yields that exceeded contracted purchase volumes. The seller is motivated to move inventory, which creates an opportunity for buyers.
Are the organic certifications still valid on surplus spices? Yes, as long as the product was certified at the time of production and has been stored in compliance with organic handling requirements. We verify organic certification documentation for every lot and provide USDA Organic certificates to buyers. If a lot's organic status is in question for any reason, we disclose that upfront.
What shelf life can I expect on surplus spices? Dried spices and dehydrated vegetables are among the most shelf-stable food ingredients. Most have manufacturer-stated shelf lives of 18–36 months. Some surplus lots may be approaching or past their Best By date, which indicates peak flavor potency rather than safety. We disclose all date codes on every quote. Many food manufacturers routinely use spices past Best By for products where the spice is one component of a blend rather than the primary flavor.
Can I order mixed pallets of different spices? If we have multiple spice lots available from the same warehouse location, we can often consolidate them onto a single shipment to save on freight. Let us know what combination you're looking for when you submit your inquiry and we'll check logistics feasibility.
