We helped our customer remove soy allergens from their oil products, quickly and efficiently. With our help, they were able to up their game by offering a premier non-GMO product with an allergen-free clean label.

A wide portfolio and deep expertise provided the answers

Our new customer, an oil manufacturer, wanted to make a switch from the soy lecithin antioxidant they’d been using. We were at the ready to deliver a clean label shelf-life solution as a replacement. By drawing upon our wide range of solutions in our broad portfolio and our expertise in finished bakery and snack products, we came up with a speedy solution to help them protect their oils used for bakery and snack products.

Proven solutions make clean...simple

Though switching to a clean label ingredient can be a complicated process, our R&D team was able to quickly identify one of our proven, off-the-shelf solutions to get them up and running with a quick turnaround. With our testing and quality control already in place, our customer was able to secure swift approval on their end, to respond to their customers’ requests for a cleaner label—and get to market quickly using our alternative shelf-life solution.

Our wide-ranging portfolio easily meets a variety of needs, since it offers different available claims at different price points, including everything from synthetic antioxidants to mid-level claims and premium shelf life solutions.

What I’m most proud of:

How we build relationships with our customers, sharing solutions and working together to make things happen. It’s gratifying to work for a company with the resources to offer a broad variety of solutions that help solve variety of challenges.

Responding to growing trends

Though a relatively small portion of people are actually allergic to soy, consumers can be wary of soy ingredients for a variety of reasons.

  • Soy is listed as one of the ‘Big 8’ allergens identified in the Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection Act (FALCPA)
  • 22% of consumers are purchasing more free-from foods than they did a year ago1
