Project Verified, plant-based, and does not require labeling as an
allergen in the U.S., making it a great choice for clean label

“Non-GMO is more than a trend, with 39 percent of U.S. consumers
saying non-GMO is an important claim they seek on foods and
beverages at retail,” said Mark Stavro, senior director of
marketing. “Our customers want to stay competitive in the non-GMO
market, and sunflower lecithin is an excellent opportunity.
According to AC Nielsen, non-GMO foods and beverages made with
lecithin are a $4 billion market with six percent annual growth
over the past three years.”
BungeMaxx sunflower lecithin helps provide key product claims,
including Non-GMO Project Verified, and its superior functionality
makes it a straightforward replacement for other lecithins in
formulations from chocolate to beverages. BungeMaxx is underpinned
by the world’s largest scalable production footprint for sunflower
lecithin. Every step of the supply chain is managed by the Bunge
team, starting with the sourcing of sunflower seeds from its
network of farmers in Europe to final distribution in the U.S.
Bunge has also expanded its Whole Harvest® portfolio of organic
and non-GMO expeller pressed oils to include Non-GMO Project
Verified canola and soybean oils. Its network of farmers in
Manitoba and Saskatchewan grows non-GMO canola. In Indiana, Ohio,
and Michigan, its network grows non-GMO soy, giving customers
confidence in the products and their origins.

innovator, with the industry’s broadest range of plant-based oil
and fat ingredients, along with integrated, scalable, and
