Our soybean ingredients begin life as a unique soybean seed, developed with natural genetic selection techniques. We coordinated with major universities to develop these proprietary genetics. Each planted seed is non-genetically modified (non-GM), and carefully tested to meet our rigorous standards for color, texture, low flavor, nutritional content, processing suitability and application flexibility.
Food grade soy is our only business. We do not purchase soybeans on the open market, or depend on a foreign source. These soybeans are bred and raised under our watchful eye, right here in the U.S. No other company can offer soy ingredients with such scrupulously controlled heritage.
Unlike other organic soy ingredient suppliers, US Soy actually grows its own soybeans by contracting with our farm neighbors in the world's richest soybean growing region, located in central Illinois. We supply the seeds, and dictate the growing procedures. For our organic ingredients, farming methods are continuously monitored to assure compliance with organic standards. It's painstaking work, but it's your assurance of complete confidence in the heritage of your soy ingredients.
In support of our agricultural program, US Soy works closely with the Illinois Crop Improvement Association, the Association of Official Seed Certifying Agencies and the Organic Crop Improvement Association.
Our soybeans never leave our sight. Once they are harvested, we store the beans on-site at our Mattoon, Illinois processing facility, utilizing fail-safe segregation techniques to assure that organic beans are handled separately. We operate on the principle of absolute identity preservation, isolating the organic and non-GM bean varieties, and eliminating any chance of intermingling.
US Soy's "total control" philosophy continues in our processing facility, where every step is carefully managed. soybeans are transferred from storage directly into this modern plant, using drag and belt conveyors to gently handle the beans. US Soy uses mechanical processing procedures only... no chemical methods are involved.
After de-hulling, cleaning and precise grading by color, the soybeans can be directed to a variety of further-processing options. We can expel, mill, extrude and package soy ingredients to customer specifications.
Our quality programs include HACCP and advanced analytics. Inspection and certification are performed by recognized QA authorities. All products are certified Kosher, and our organic soy ingredients are certified organic by the Organic Crop Improvement Association and to the US National Organic Program.
Packaging is done on-site immediately after processing. Packaging varies by product, and can include bulk totes. Custom packaging is available, ask us for details.
We are justifiably proud of our quality control procedures, so you purchase from US Soy with absolute confidence.
