About Us

Our mission at Northern Ingredients is to provide quality products to our customers at the time they need them, while providing exceptional customer service.  Our customers are commercial bakeries and food manufacturers in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area.  The company has grown extensively over the years, as our customers have had a need for inventory control and excellent pricing.
