All products are free of artificial colours and MSG.

It will allow Sauce Direct to offer the complete range of the top quality Dawn Farms branded cooked and fermented ingredients to its targeted customer base for toppings in the UK."

The company enjoys close strategic ties with blue chip international foodservice, QSR brand and food manufacturing customers which it supplies with customised products.
Pizza Trading was established in 1989 to service the independent pizza and foodservice sectors throughout Europe and has grown to become a key supplier to the industry. It established Sauce Direct as its wholesale division in 2001.
