We know consumers are increasingly interested in where their food comes from and how it is grown. We share consumers’ desire for transparency about what goes into our products. For that reason, we made a commitment in 2013 to sustainably source our top ten priority ingredients by 2020.
Today, we sustainably source 67 percent of the dry-milled corn we purchase in the U.S. and are on track to meet our goal of 100 percent by 2020.
In addition to providing greater transparency, we are also driven by our company’s pursuit to treat the world with care. Working with our suppliers and the farmers who grow corn and other priority ingredients, we are focused on reducing the environmental impact of agriculture.
