From perfect carbonation in a craft beer to extending the shelf life of packaged goods, gas is a critical ingredient in food and beverage (F&B) production. Ozarc Gas supplies high-quality gas and specialty mixtures to food and beverage businesses in Arkansas, Indiana, Kentucky and Missouri. As a trusted F&B gas supplier, we provide the purity, reliability and expertise your operation demands.

A Commitment to Food Safety and Purity

Food safety drives every aspect of our operations at Ozarc Gas. To protect your brand and your production schedule, all gases we supply to the F&B industry meet or exceed requirements from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA).

We maintain complete traceability throughout our supply chain, giving you end-to-end visibility and simplifying compliance with food safety mandates. Our team can help you navigate Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) protocols and other food safety compliance standards, providing the documentation and support your quality assurance team needs during audits.

Gases for Every Stage of Your Production Line

Ozarc Gas stocks a complete range of food and beverage gases to support diverse production processes in the Midwest and the southern United States

Carbon dioxide provides the crisp carbonation that defines beer, soda and sparkling water, while also pressurizing beverage tanks and dispensing lines for consistent product delivery. Ozarc Gas supplies food- and beverage-grade CO2 in Missouri and throughout our four-state service area in cylinder, dewar and bulk formats.

High-purity nitrogen preserves freshness through Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP), displacing oxygen to slow oxidation and microbial growth in packaged foods. Nitrogen also creates the signature cascading effect in nitro-stout beers and cold-brew coffees, and it purges tanks to remove unwanted oxygen before filling operations. Ozarc Gas delivers beverage-grade nitrogen in Paragould, AR, and across all locations we serve.

Ozarc Gas provides dry ice (solid CO2) to facilities that need flash-freezing capabilities. Dry ice preserves product quality by rapidly locking in freshness and texture. This ultra-cold solution also supports cold-chain shipping, maintaining frozen temperatures during transport without the mess of melting ice.

The dairy and dessert sector relies on nitrous oxide to create and preserve whipped cream and other aerosolized food products. Ozarc Gas offers food-grade nitrous oxide gas to help you produce perfect texture and stability and support consistent product quality.

In addition to individual gases, Ozarc Gas provides custom blends of CO2 and nitrogen formulations for packaging gases in Missouri, Arkansas, Kentucky and Indiana. These precise mixtures meet the preservation needs of products ranging from baked goods to prepared meats and cheeses.

Supply Modes That Fit Your Production Schedule

Partner with a gas supplier that can fulfill supplies for your tight production schedules. Ozarc Gas provides high-pressure cylinders for small craft breweries and laboratory applications where portability matters most. Midsized operations like wineries and regional packaging lines benefit from liquid dewars that reduce handling frequency. For large-scale food processors requiring uninterrupted supplies, our microbulk and bulk systems deliver continuous gas availability through scheduled refills and inventory monitoring.
