Barts, which was set up in the 1960s, supplies a range of spices to UK retailers, including a range of organic and Fairtrade products.
Langholm bought a majority stake in Tyrrells two years ago in a deal that valued the business at around GBP40m (US$60.7m).
In March 2008, Langholm sold Dorset Cereals to Wellness Foods, a health food group backed by horseracing tycoons JP McManus and John Magnier.
