USAID Approves Soy Products For Use In Food
For Peace Programs
The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), Washington, DC, has approved five value-added soy protein products for use in Food for Peace programs. The decision was based on nutritional information provided by the World Initiative for Soy in Human Health (WISHH) program, which is sponsored by the American Soybean Association (ASA), the United Soybean Board and state soybean organizations. USAID’s approval will allow food assistance groups, such as Africare and the World Food Programme, to request defatted soy flour, textured soy protein, soy protein concentrates, isolated soy protein and soy milk replacer through the $1 billion Food for Peace Program administered by USAID.
