This summer, we are joining industry professionals from all across the nation at the IFT FIRST Annual Event and Expo! This event marks another year of innovation and solution-oriented collaboration in the food industry.

IFT FIRST is the largest global food science and innovation expo. It’s a prime opportunity to connect with respected experts, creative innovators, and decision-makers across every sector of food science and technology.

This event is taking place from July 14-16 at McCormick Place in Chicago, IL. We are exhibiting in the south hall at booth #S1823 where we are showcasing 3 featured spice blends and offering free samples to everyone who stops by our booth.

 

3 Innovative Spice Blends in Action at IFT

Pacific Spice is proud to offer a complete catalog of high quality spices, herbs, and seasonings, as well as custom blending services, and bulk, foodservice, and retail packaging. IFT FIRST gives us a unique opportunity to showcase our products in-person, and get real-time feedback from our community.

This year at IFT FIRST, we are reaching beyond flavor trends to spotlight three crave-able seasoning blends that are bold, practical, and scalable. Booth visitors will have the opportunity to sample all three of our spice blends at our special sample station.

 

1. PSC Elote Seasoning

This blend is inspired by the flavors of a traditional south-of-the-border street corn (elote) dish. With a mix of chili powder, cumin, lime, and other spices, this seasoning delivers savory, earthy, and chili-forward flavor.

This blend is ideal for flavoring corn ribs and snacks, as well as veggie dips.

 

2. PSC Smokin’ Heat & Sweet Seasoning

Combining the fiery flavor of smoked chipotle with the sweetness of honey, our PSC Smokin’ Heat & Sweet Seasoning more than lives up to its name. The result is a bold, sweet and spicy blend with limitless potential.

Stir this feisty blend into sour cream or mayo to create an elevated house sauce with bold flavor.

 

3. PSC All Dressed Seasoning

Inspired by a beloved Canadian potato chip flavor, this seasoning is an eclectic blend of sweet, savory, tangy, and smoky spices. We reimagined the traditional recipe to deliver bold and unconventional flavor – all in one convenient seasoning.

PSC All Dressed Seasoning is perfect on popcorn and other snacks, or stirred into mayonnaise for a quick and flavorful dip for veggies, chips, and fries.

 

Flavor Innovation with PSC

Each of our three featured blends is globally inspired, thoroughly tested, and highly versatile – instantly adding bold flavor to sauces, dips, and more! To spotlight their real-world potential, we are serving them on corn ribs and offering free samples at our booth.

In addition to delivering bold, balanced flavor, these blends represent our full-service capabilities as a U.S. spice manufacturer. Each ingredient is cleaned, milled, blended, and processed in-house – giving us unique oversight and quality control from start to finish. Our personalized approach is tailored to meet your unique needs, delivering high quality spices and herbs at scale and to your exact specifications.
