The Food & Drug Administration (FDA) has granted the first GRAS classification for any rice protein to Axiom Foods for their clinically-studied Oryzatein® organic brown rice protein ingredient. Axiom's Vegotein pea protein was also awarded a GRAS classification.
At a time when rice is becoming the new wheat, the nation's largest consumer packaged food conglomerates are reformulating their products to eradicate allergen-charged soy and whey proteins, gluten-laden wheat and GMO-infested corn. The FDA GRAS nod to Axiom Foods is the specific classification that opens the doors for rice and pea protein to burst into the mainstream of food production.
