Your Customers Are More Curious Than Ever

Shoppers are looking for clean labels and nutrient-rich ingredients. With soy, the answer is yes. Soy delivers complete, high-quality protein and heart-healthy oil in one versatile ingredient, allowing brands to enhance nutrition and functionality while keeping products affordable.

Sustainability is at the Center of the Conversation

Retailers and consumers expect measurable proof of sustainability. And soy delivers. U.S. soybean farmers have contributed 43 percent fewer greenhouse gas emissions, improved land use efficiency by 48 percent, and increased the amount of soy being produced by 130 percent per bushel of crop between 1980 and 2020.

Performance at Scale Still Comes First

As food manufacturing scales, maintaining quality becomes more complex. Ingredients must perform consistently at every production stage. Soy delivers dependability through emulsification, moisture retention, and freeze-thaw stability, making it a reliable choice for competitive manufacturers.

Oils & Fats

Soybean oil sets the standard for stability and versatility, and high oleic varieties take it further. Combining longer shelf life and a neutral flavor*, high oleic soybean oil is the smart choice for dependable formulation.

Plant-Based Protein

Sauces & Dressings

Soy ingredients bring a smooth, desirable texture, and lasting stability to sauces, dressings, and spreads. From soy oil’s clean flavor to lecithin’s natural emulsification, they help brands achieve consistency and shelf life without synthetic additives.

“Too many fats can’t hold up to the temperature that I like to cook on. High oleic soybean oil has such a high smoke point that whether I’m frying the perfectly golden brown beignets, searing a really thick cut of meat or trying to get some color on eggplant, it allows me to do so.”
