Our category-leading Non-GMO and Organic lecithin's (Soy & Sunflower) are used as emulsifiers by in a wide range of products, from infant formulas, ice cream, chocolates and nutrition bars. We also supply Non-GMO and Organic feed ingredients to producers of Non-GMO and Organic meat, milk and eggs. We contract with qualified growers throughout the Midwest U.S. to provide high quality, consistent and reliable supplies of ingredients to meet our customers needs. Certified Transitional To address the supply-constrained market for organic ingredients and increase domestic organic acreage, Clarkson has introduced Certified Transitional -- a new farming and food processing industry certification that provides additional opportunities for food and feed manufacturers to meet consumer demand for organic products. Certified Transitional allows family farmers to create value by getting a premium for their crops, and sell product before their acreage has fully-transitioned to Certified Organic status. Together, food manufacturers and farmers will be contributing to an overall rise in domestic organic acreage. The program is a short-term solution for today’s organic ingredients shortage, and provides long-term growth opportunities in organics for farmers and food manufacturers alike.
