NEW ORLEANS – Adams Flavors Foods and Ingredients has sold one of its companies to AFG Unlimited, a privately-held company based in Gonzales, Texas.

Sterling Crim, of Adams Flavors Foods, says AFG Unlimited's decision to buy REX Fine Foods reflects their commitment to "growing and supporting regional brand specialty spices, seasonsings and related products."

AFG Unlimited executive vice president Gene Ratliff says they hope to grow REX's following by capitalizing on the market it's built in Louisiana and expand the brand into the southern region.

REX Fine Foods, based in New Orleans, has been making and selling authentic Cajun and Creole spices, seasonings and foods since 1888.
