An ingredient spreader which may be readily coupled to existing feeder mechanisms so as to provide a uniform output which is dispersed in a sifting or dusting fashion over a defined area. The ingredient spreader includes a housing having an inlet at its top and an outlet at its bottom, a baffle connected centrally within the housing, a mesh screen located across the outlet of the housing, a plurality of balls which rest on the mesh screen when the ingredient spreader is not in operation, and a drive mechanism for oscillating the housing when the ingredient spreader is in operation. In operation, the drive mechanism oscillates the ingredient spreader. Ingredient is fed through the inlet at the top of the housing, passes through the housing being dispersed by the baffle, and is sifted by the balls and the screen.
