International Dehydrated Foods

International Dehydrated Foods is a U.S.-based manufacturer of poultry-derived food ingredients, especially chicken proteins, broths, extracts, meat powders, and fats for food, beverage, and supplement applications. Founded in 1982 in Springfield, Missouri, the company markets its offerings under the IDF brand and emphasizes proprietary poultry-processing technologies, clean-label positioning, and application support for formulators. Its business is commercial rather than therapeutic, with products aimed at nutrition, flavor, and formulation performance rather than drug development. International Dehydrated Foods was acquired by Symrise in 2019 as part of the broader ADF/IDF transaction and appears to continue operating as an active business within Symrise's nutrition portfolio.
