A Whole Grain Stamp isn’t just for snacks or bread—global ingredient firm Glanbia Nutritionals introduced BevGrad Oats GF and BevGrad Quinoa, designed for inclusion in beverages.

The latest additions to its super-finely milled BevGrad line taps into growing consumer demand for health-conscious products, the company said, which includes whole-grain and high-fiber items.

Inclusion of these ingredients into finished products qualify for the use of the “sought-after Whole Grain Stamp,” issued by the Whole Grain Council, according to the company.

BevGrad Oats GF and BevGrad Quinoa contain carbohydrates, fiber, and protein. Both ingredients go through Glanbia Nutritionals’ screening and supply chain program.

In addition, BevGrad Oats GF is fit for customers who specialize in gluten-free products, thanks to Glanbia Nutritionals’ OatSecure supply chain process, a proprietary system that goes beyond the Purity Protocol by ensuring gluten-free status at every stage of production from seed through growth, harvesting and processing.

BevGrad solutions are vegan and Kosher and Halal certified. BevGrad Oats GF are also Non-GMO Project Verified.
