Food and beverage producers need a lime supplier they can audit, trust, and consistently rely on. For nearly a century, Pete Lien & Sons, a US-based supplier, has produced high quality lime for customers that expect safe, exceptionally pure, consistent, and sustainable products that meet the most stringent requirements.
NutriLien HQ is our food grade hydrated lime (food grade calcium hydroxide). It is derived from naturally occurring high purity limestone and skillfully crafted into superior quality food grade lime, produced in Laramie, WY and shipped by truck or rail across North America.
