As healthy eating grows increasingly mainstream, Excalibur Seasoning’s all-natural and clean-label blends are resonating with consumers.

“This trend is top of mind for meat processors,” says John Brewer, VP of Sales and Marketing. “With a growing demand for transparency in food labeling and a focus on cost-effective, quality products, Excalibur has made significant strides in developing clean-label offerings over the past several years.”

Excalibur has partnered with suppliers specializing in functional ingredients, enabling the creation of clean ingredient statements that are allergen-free and in high demand. For the past five years, these all-natural and clean-label items have been a focal point for Excalibur, resulting in innovative products that contain natural plant-based ingredients without sacrificing flavor.

“What sets us apart is a commitment to customization. We offer the opportunity to collaborate directly with our customers to create unique blends of seasonings, rubs, and marinades tailored to specific needs,” adds Brewer.

One of the standout features of all-natural products is their ability to replace traditional chemicals used in cured meats. This transformation results in an easy-to-use, clean-label, allergen-free, and cost-effective solution that maintains exceptional flavor and ensures pathogen safety. For example, Excalibur’s phosphate alternative enhances water retention in meat and poultry, all while preserving taste. Additionally, the natural blends of fruit and spice extracts serve as effective replacements for preservatives, extending the shelf life of cooked meat and poultry by an impressive 90 to 120 days.

As the movement toward healthier eating continues to gain momentum, Excalibur Seasoning is leading the way and proud to offer all-natural and clean-label blends that cater to both consumer demands and industry standards.
