From Heritage to Innovation - A Trusted Irish Food Ingredients Partner
Since 1859, the Shackleton name has been synonymous with high-quality Irish ingredients. What started as a traditional flour mill has grown into a progressive ingredient solutions provider with BRCGS accredited manufacturing facilities, specialising in the supply of pre-mixes, concentrates, and ingredients to industry-leading partners in the global food manufacturing sector.
Tailored mixing & blending with zero waste
We provide concentrated ingredient blends tailored to customer specifications, from small retail packs to one-tonne bags. Whether you need a full blend, concentrate, nutritional grain/seed mix, or specialised allergen-free solution, our cutting-edge processes ensure precision, consistency, and quality with zero waste.
By trusting our expertise, customers reduce risks, skilled labour needs, and storage requirements while freeing up working capital. Shackleton’s makes life easier for manufacturers, empowering them to focus on crafting delicious food that consumers love.
Blending tradition with innovation
Our in-house test bakery creates unique blends, tailors mixes, or designs new products from concept to delivery. With decades of experience, we advise on substitutes to meet changing consumer, market, or regulatory needs. We’ve helped develop specialist products including high-fibre, low-salt, reduced-sugar, and gluten-free mixes. If you have a vision for your brand, we can help make it real.
A trusted supplier of gluten-free solutions

We take our role seriously, which is why we built a standalone BRCGS accredited gluten-free facility, completely separate from our other sites. This state-of-the-art unit supports leading gluten-free products in Ireland and beyond, from baking mixes to Irish soda bread. All ingredients and finished goods are tested on-site before dispatch, ensuring safety and peace of mind.
