Our History
In 1982, entrepreneur William (Bill) Darr founded IDF®. Informed by his agribusiness education, experience working in quality control within the food industry, and his unique vision for elevating the quality and capability of poultry-based real ingredients, Bill Darr grew a business that has continually set the gold standard for poultry-based food ingredients.
In addition to creating best-in-class ingredients, IDF® has consistently led the way as the first, including these industry-changing achievements:
- the first to introduce shelf-stable chicken fat to the market
- the first to develop and introduce frozen 32% solids chicken broth to the industry
- the first to introduce the “Fast Dissolution” broth powder tower dryer, which creates a natural, clean-label broth powder with no carriers
- the first to introduce a high-protein, low-fat chicken powder with high digestibility
Since end of 2019, IDF® joined Symrise, a global supplier of fragrances, flavorings, cosmetic active ingredients and raw materials, as well as functional ingredients. IDF® became part of Diana, in the Nutrition Segment of Symrise.
