Gourmet food purveyor raises $1.2M

BONITA SPRINGS — Innovative Food Holdings raised $1.2 million of additional capital from wealthy individuals and institutions to fuel the company's growth.

In August, the Bonita Springs-based purveyor of gourmet foods to professional chefs acquired The Fresh Diet, which delivers freshly prepared meals to consumers at home in over 570 cities.

In addition to raising new capital, Innovative Food says Yorkmont Capital Partners bought out 3.2 million restricted shares held by a dissident shareholder of The Fresh Diet.
