ST. PAUL, Minn., Feb. 24, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- CHS Inc.
(NASDAQ: CHSCP, CHSCO, CHSCN, CHSCM, CHSCL), North America's leading farmer-owned
cooperative and a global energy, grains and foods company,
announced today that a variety of its soy ingredients are now
Non-GMO (Genetically-Modified Organism) Project verified by the
Non-GMO Project, a non-profit organization committed to preserving
and building sources of non-GMO products.
CHS offers a complete line of soy ingredients available as both
GMO and non-GMO. The CHS products that have earned non-GMO
verification include: CHS soybean salad oil, CHS crude soybean oil,
CHS soybean meal, Honeysoy® soy flour, and Honeysoy® soy
flakes.
"CHS pursued non-GMO verification status to serve our customers
who want ingredients that satisfy these criteria," says
Kara VanKleek, CHS marketing
director, Processing and Food Ingredients. "As a farmer-owned
company, CHS sources soybeans directly from growers, allowing
traceability. These soybeans are then processed at U.S.
company-owned facilities into a range of GMO and non-GMO soy
ingredients, from oil to flour to concentrates and isolates."
VanKleek says while the Non-GMO Project verified status involves
an extensive process, CHS was committed to obtaining the industry
seal to meet customer specifications. "CHS is always looking for
ways to help its customers find the right soy oil and protein
solutions. Non-GMO verification helps us meet the needs of
customers, whether they run large volumes or if their operations
are small and growing."
