Turnover reached GBP205.9m, up from the GBP178.8m posted in 2008, according to figures filed with Companies House.
Wellness Foods said sales rose “due to securing additional volume in the majority of its businesses and the full-year effect of price increases secured to offset raw material price inflation”.
The business made an operating profit of GBP1.6m compared to an operating loss of GBP10.1m a year earlier.
