Glanbia Nutritionals Inc. announced the official opening of its new food-grade Next Generation Grain processing facility.
April 7/Fitchburg, Wis./Press Release -- Glanbia Nutritionals Inc. announced the official opening of its new food-grade Next Generation Grain processing facility in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. The 63,000 sq. ft. ingredient plant produces flaxseed ingredients, as well as a growing portfolio of chia, quinoa and other ancient grain ingredient solutions.
The Next Generation Grain 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, grain handling is entirely internal, with no external grain unloading or grain 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% 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 solid slip form concrete construction.
