Responsible sourcing

DENOFA'S SOY IS 100 % DEFORESTATION-FREE

Denofa has refined raw materials for use in food and feed products since 1912. Today, our most important raw material is high-quality soybeans, which are guaranteed deforestation-free, non-GMO and certified as sustainable.

A world class tracking system

Full control of the value chain

The change in the Gene-Technology Law of 1996 which prohibited the sale of genetically modified products in Norway, made it crucial for Denofa to retain complete control throughout the entire value chain. We started early to develop an advanced tracking system, which today ensures up to 4.000 test samples per load are taken from the soybeans imported from Brazil.

TRANSPARENCY CREATES TRUST

Ingredients for food and feed

Denofa produce meal, oils, and lecithin for use in feed, food and other foodstuffs. Most of the soy that Denofa refine in Fredrikstad is used for animal feed. This ensures that farm animals get access to much-needed proteins.

Strict quality control

Why is there less salmonella in Norwegian production animals? Perhaps part of the reason is that Denofa takes frequent tests of the soybeans used in the feed, and acts quickly to weed out contaminated volumes.

Tracing from A to Z

Responsible sourcing of a raw material produced in another country requires full control of the value chain. Denofa and AMAGGI’s traceability system is so detailed that we know exactly which farms in Mato Grosso, Brazil, have produced the volumes of soy that ultimately end up in Fredrikstad.
