A US Foods Alternative for Seasonings, Rubs and Soup Bases in Utah
US Foods is a national broadline distributor. The Good Seasoning Company is a family-owned Utah specialist supplying seasoning blends, rubs and soup bases to restaurants, senior living, schools and caterers. Kitchens typically keep the broadline account and move the flavor line to us for consistency, customization and per-pound pricing they can compare.
We are not affiliated with US Foods. Everything below is our own comparison, written to help a Utah kitchen decide where its seasoning line should come from.

Questions we get
- Do we have to drop our broadline distributor to buy from you?
- No. Most of our accounts keep their broadline distributor for produce, protein and paper, and buy spices, rubs and soup bases from us. We are a specialty line, not a replacement for a full-line truck.
- Are you actually local?
- Yes. The Good Seasoning Company is family owned and operated in Utah, and we only serve Utah kitchens. The person who answers the phone is the person who can change your order.
- How do I see pricing?
- Request the wholesale pricing sheet on this page. We send the current per-pound pricing for the blends your kitchen actually uses — no account setup required to look at it.
