IFF sells natural ingredients business to SuanNutra
International Flavors & Fragrances (IFF) has agreed to sell its portfolio of functional ingredients and natural colors to nutraceutical firm SuanNutra for an undisclosed amount. The deal, expected to close by the end of 2026, covers IFF's botanical extracts, vitamins, minerals, food enhancement assets, natural colors, and antioxidants. This transaction comes approximately two months after IFF announced the sale of its food ingredients business to CVC Capital Partners for $4.3 billion. The natural ingredients operations generated approximately $170 million in revenue last year. The acquisition includes five manufacturing facilities in the US, Europe, and Latin America. SuanNutra owner Carbyne Equity Partners stated the deal positions the company at the center of the industry's shift from synthetic ingredients to natural and clean-label alternatives. The ingredients sector is experiencing increased dealmaking as food companies reformulate products to meet consumer health and wellness demands.
