Well, I'd use 'food ingredient' from OpenCyc:

And foaf:maker to point to a foaf:Agent, foaf:Person,
foaf:Organisation or vCard.

Or maybe the product manufacturer predicate from OpenCyc:

What might be more useful is 'available from' - for instance, to say
that you should be able to get some exotic foodstuff from a particular
market or a supermarket chain. I mean, a particular ingredient may be
stocked by, say, Whole Foods, but you needn't pick out a specific
store.
