ADM’s new extrusion facility will meet EU demand for non-GMO textured soy proteins

Last year, Archer Daniels Midland (ADM) purchased SojaProtein, European provider of non-GMO soy ingredients. It recently opened a new extrusion facility in Serbia, extending production of non-GMO textured soy to include origination and extrusion capabilities.

“Our new extrusion facility not only increases the supply of locally sourced, non-GMO textured soy protein in Europe, which is in high demand, it also matches the pace of the incredible expansion of the meat alternatives category in the EMEA region,” said Leticia Gonçalves, ADM’s president of Global Foods.

Ninety percent of the soy is grown within 100 kilometers of the facility. Globally, 75% of consumers look for non-GMO claims on protein content.

ADM recently announced a $300 million investment to expand its Decatur, Illinois alternative protein production, as well as the planned opening of a new Protein Innovation Center.
