Plant proteins in USDA feeding programs
1974
Bird, K.
Extract: Plant proteins play an increasingly important role in the food system of the U.S. At current meat and soy prices, a cost savings of about $5 million a year is possible to schools. A substantial growth is projected in this market for the next decade. Textured vegetable proteins, at present entirely derived from soybeans, have been used in school lunch programs for 2 years. Other sources of plant protein that may see advances include cottonseed, peanuts, safflower seed, sunflower seed, and grains. The Food and Nutrition Service of the U.S. Department of Agriculture has set a system for evaluating, accepting, listing, and monitoring plant proteins being used in its several feeding programs.
