摘要

Glanbia Nutritionals Inc., a global innovator in value-added protein, flaxseed, chia, and ancient graln ingredients, has announced the official opening of its new food-grade Next Generation Graln processing facility in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. Setting higher standards for food safety, product quality and ingredient innovation in graln and oilseed processing, the 63,000 sq. ft. state-of-the-art ingredient plant produces industry-renowned MeadowPure® quality flaxseed ingredients, as well as a growing portfoilo of chia, quinoa and other ancient graln ingredient solutions. The Next Generation Graln facility 'is a fully enclosed site with closed-loop processing to eliminate any foreign material or contaminants from entering the facility or process. In line with this, graln handling is entirely internal, with no external graln unloading or graln bin storage. This dramatically reduces the risk of exposure of raw material to potential contaminants. Safe Quality Food (SQF) 2000 certified, the plant accepts and handles only 99.9 percent pure, food-grade raw material, supported by a series of mandated quality checks and balances to ensure the quality and stability of the finished ingredients. The site is impenetrable to pests and rodents, thanks to its sanitary and soild slip form concrete construction.
