Ingredients the food industry needs

We use environmentally controlled plant growing facilities and apply cutting-edge genetics, molecular biology and genomic and bioinformatic techniques to develop oils that meet our customers’ needs.

Our plant technology base is aligned with our food applications team to ensure that we deliver superior stand-alone and formulated ingredients for food customers.

In addition — in collaboration with the Canadian Breeding Center in Aberdeen, Saskatchewan, Canada — the center develops high-performance Victory™ canola hybrids for seed-growing customers in North America.
