Cargill To Launch First Traceable High Oleic Canola Oil Supply Chain
14 Jul 2015 --- Beginning Oct. 1, in an industry first, Cargill will map all aspects of its North American high oleic canola supply chain through its Knowing Your Roots: from farm to table program. The program comes in response to consumer desire to know where their food comes from.
The program will walk customers and consumers through the whole supply chain: From seed development and the farmers who grow the canola, through oil processing and packaging, on to the foodservice operators and food ingredient manufacturers who use the product, and, finally, to consumers.
Cargill is the only major high oleic canola oil supplier that is also a seed company and vice versa, Sanschagrin notes. “Because of this unique position, we can provide a transparent supply chain,” she said.
