ADM plans to expand NovaLipid™ production
To add capacity at its Mankato, Minnesota enzyme interesterification facility.
21/03/05 Archer Daniels Midland Company will expand NovaLipid™ production by adding capacity at its Mankato, Minnesota enzyme interesterification facility.
NovaLipid™ products are the Company’s line of zero/low trans-fat oils and margarines. Construction is scheduled to be completed late in 2005. This is the second expansion to the NovaLipid line. Last year, the Company had announced that it was expanding its production at its Quincy, Illinois facility to help satisfy the food industry’s demands as it moves forward to meet the January 1, 2006, FDA labeling requirement1.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has announced changes to the Nutritional Labeling Education Act that will require the labeling of trans-fats on all nutritional fact panels by January 1, 2006.
