NPI Receives "Superior" AIB rating

Natural Products, Inc. once again underwent the annual inspection by the American Institute of Baking (AIB).

About Natural Products, Inc.

All our products are:

naturally processed
made with non-GMO soybeans
certified Kosher Parve
available in Certified Organic

Natural Products, Inc. (NPI) has its roots deep in the heartland of America -- Iowa, one of the most productive agricultural areas in the world. The company can trace its heritage back over 150 years when the Lang family established itself in central Iowa.

From these humble farm beginnings, the six succeeding generations have built an enterprise that today is comprised of three separate companies with four different processing facilities and their products are marketed to all parts of the globe. Seventy-five years of experience in value-added processing led to the formation of NPI in 1992 to process high quality food-grade soybeans.

Soybeans have long been recognized as a source of high-grade vegetable protein and food manufacturers are increasingly using it in their products to increase quality and reduce costs. A key element of NPI's success is flexibility. We are able to work with customers to meet any particle size specification. More than half of NPI's current customers have their own specific requirements.
