Innovative Food Holdings

Innovative Food Holdings, Inc. (OTC: IVFH) is a specialty food distribution company focused on supplying professional chefs, upscale restaurants, and foodservice operators with a curated selection of specialty, artisan, and exotic food ingredients sourced from specialty producers around the world. According to its website at ifoodsgroup.com, the company provides foodservice customers with access to hundreds of specialty food categories — including exotic mushrooms, heirloom vegetables, specialty proteins, artisan cheeses, specialty seafood, foie gras, truffles, micro herbs, and other premium culinary ingredients — that are not readily available through conventional broadline food distributors. Innovative Food Holdings' specialty distribution model connects creative chefs and upscale foodservice operators with the distinctive, high-quality ingredients that differentiate premium dining experiences from commodity food service.

Innovative Food Holdings' distribution platform, described at ifoodsgroup.com, operates through its Artisan Specialty Foods and other subsidiaries, sourcing specialty ingredients directly from artisan producers, specialty farms, and international food importers and delivering them to restaurant, hotel, country club, casino, and other high-end foodservice customers across the United States. The company's sourcing relationships with specialty producers — including domestic artisan farms, international specialty food importers, and exclusive specialty food brands — provide its foodservice customers with access to ingredients that may not be available elsewhere and that enable the creation of distinctive menu items that reflect the creativity and culinary vision of professional chefs. Innovative Food Holdings' technology platform enables online ordering, product discovery, and supply chain management that supports its specialty food distribution operations.

Innovative Food Holdings serves the premium and specialty foodservice market — a segment characterized by sophisticated chef customers who prioritize ingredient quality, provenance, and distinctiveness over price alone, creating demand for specialty distribution services that provide access to the artisan and exotic ingredients that define premium culinary experiences. According to ifoodsgroup.com, the company's specialty distribution model is insulated from direct commodity price competition by its focus on differentiated, artisan, and specialty ingredients for which professional chefs are willing to pay premium prices to access the unique flavors, textures, and presentations that these ingredients enable. Innovative Food Holdings' combination of specialty foodservice distribution, artisan producer sourcing relationships, professional chef customer base, and online ordering technology positions it as a distinctive participant in the premium specialty food distribution market.
