Northland Seed & Grain
Corporation is proud to announce the introduction of its
premium-quality, Identity Preserved, non-GM soy lecithin and
refined soy oil. Northland has been working on the development
of these products for some time because they have been
difficult, if not impossible, for customers to source.
Northland Seed &
Grain Corporation is now able to produce non-GM fluid soy
lecithin, non-GM deoiled (powder and granular) lecithin, non-GM
soy salad oil and non-GM hydrogenated soy oil. To produce
verifiably non-GM soy lecithin and oil requires very rigorous
quality control and Identity Preservation. Northland tests the
seed stock planted, contracts with qualified farmers whose
equipment and storage facilities must be inspected and approved,
tests the soybeans during growth and harvest, transports and
stores the beans in IP trucks, rail cars, shipping containers
and bins, and processes the beans in IP cleaning, crushing, and
refining facilities. PCR tests are run at various stages of
production.
Northland's non-GM
lecithins and oils will be third-party verified non-GMO. These
products will be Process Vertified as well as Product Vertified
which is essential when dealing with refined products. |
