Entrepreneur Buys, Revamps Healthy Solutions Spice Blends

In March, Shelly Wolcott purchased the assets of Healthy Solutions Spice Blends, a maker of 16 spice blends that are recipe-ready and made to cook with fish, beef, pork and poultry. Since making the purchase, Wolcott has reviewed all of the ingredients inherited in the existing spice blends, reformulated each of the blends to eliminate any unnecessary ingredients and artificial colors, and redesigned Healthy Solutions Spice Blends’ existing retail packaging. 

Now, six months later, Healthy Solutions Spice Blends are made with no MSG, are low in carbohydrates, have no additives or preservatives, and the bulk of the line is made with no sugar or salt. Healthy Solutions Spice Blends’ new retail packaging is showing up this holiday season on retailer shelves. 

“We’ve been able to accomplish all the goals we set out to achieve during the first six months of operations,” said Wolcott, including new formulas, new retail packaging and addressing sourcing needs. “Now, it’s time to concentrate on growing our distribution and retail partners.” 

Healthy Solutions Spice Blends, based in Milford, N.H., can be found in Northeast retailers such as Whole Food Markets, Market Basket, Hannaford Supermarkets and numerous franchise locations of The Meat House Neighborhood Butcher Shop from Maine to North Carolina.  

Healthy Solutions Spice Blends are made for today’s busy families that prefer having homemade meals. The spice blends come in pre-measured spice packets and contain multiple servings, each in a zip-top packet for freshness and easy storage.

“We have a proven product that is selling extremely well at retail and are actively seeking out new distributors and brokers to increase our retail footprint in 2014. We hear from our customers all the time how much they love our product,” added Wolcott.
