In partnership with Soy Canada, the Canadian Grain Commission is now delivering the Soy Quality Program that the Canadian soy food industry has come to rely on.
Previously delivered by Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada's Harrow Research and Development Centre, this program has contributed to Canada's strong reputation as a reliable supplier of high-quality food grade soybeans to global markets. The Canadian Grain Commission is uniquely suited to build upon the legacy of the Harrow Research and Development Centre, given its expertise in soy quality evaluation and its international reputation for scientific excellence.
In its new form, the Soy Quality Program will continue to deliver quality testing for new food-grade soybean varieties and performance testing of soy food products, including soymilk, miso and tofu. In addition to quality and performance assessments, researchers in the Canadian Grain Commission's Grain Research Laboratory will provide scientific expertise to support important stakeholder relationships with customers, Canadian exporters, seed companies and academics.
The program will be led by Dr. Ning Wang, Research Scientist and Program Manager for Pulse Research at the Canadian Grain Commission's Grain Research Laboratory. Support for the program has been provided by Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada and Soy Canada.
