“Market research suggests 40 percent of consumers are actively
managing consumption of GMO foods in their daily diets,” said Mark
Stavro, senior director of marketing for North America. “Our
recently expanded non-GMO offerings will create business
opportunities for our customers by allowing them to extend non-GMO
options to their customers in product categories where it is in
high-demand, while still maintaining the high quality they have
come to expect of Bunge ingredients.”
Currently, Bunge is the only major supplier to offer non-GMO
corn ingredients on a scale that makes them accessible to major
brands. This includes grits, meals, flours, and whole grains that
can be used across a wide range of packaged foods, including
cereals, savory snacks, bakery, batters/breadings, and more.
“We are the only ingredient manufacturer at IFT, or anywhere,
with Non-GMO Project Verified corn ingredients and oils ready at a
scale that allows our customers to confidently grow key brands to
meet non-GMO demand,” said Wade Ellis, vice president and general
manager, U.S. Milling.
The company’s Crete, Nebraska, facility is Non-GMO Project
Verified, and its Danville, Illinois, facility, the world’s largest
dry corn mill, is currently undergoing project verification as
well. To support its non-GMO footprint, Bunge has contracted with
farmers for non-GMO acres surrounding both facilities.
In addition to milled corn ingredients, Bunge also offers a
scalable supply of Non-GMO Project Verified canola and soybean
oils, under its Whole Harvest brand. These oils are
expeller-pressed and minimally refined, which makes them ideal for
clean label applications.
“Many of our customers are seeking verified non-GMO ingredients
that are also minimally processed, and our Whole Harvest brand of
canola and soybean oils meets this need,” said Anthony Williams,
vice president of sales and marketing, Bunge North America. “Our
Whole Harvest brand is ‘simply different’; it delivers confidence
and transparency through being Non-GMO Project Verified, as well as
being expeller-pressed and minimally refined, which helps our
customers better leverage the clean label trend across a wide range
of food products.”
