This directory lists 72 bone broth co packers across the United States, from small-batch artisanal producers leveraging HPP to large-scale operations specializing in retort-stable liquid and powdered formats.
Buyers in this category are often solving critical problems related to scaling production while meticulously preserving target gel strength and collagen yield, achieving ambient shelf-stability without compromising nutrient density, and navigating the complexities of specialized ingredient sourcing, such as ethically raised animal bones and organic produce. The right co-packer mitigates these production headaches.
Suppliers in this space distinguish themselves primarily by their processing methods, volume capabilities, and certifications. You'll find specialized HPP facilities for fresh/refrigerated products, dedicated retort processors for shelf-stable liquid broths, co-packers offering drying and powdering services, and integrated operations providing comprehensive bone sourcing, extraction, and full-service manufacturing. Understanding their core competency is key.
To engage effectively, buyers should prepare detailed formulations, target nutritional panels, desired gel strength specifications, and expected packaging formats (e.g., glass, aseptic carton, pouch). Suppliers expect clear guidelines on bone origin, simmer duration parameters, desired solids content (Brix), and an understanding of the brand's intended distribution and cold chain requirements versus ambient shelf stability needs.
