Organic, Gluten-Free & Non-GMO Programs

Food consumers increasingly demand transparency about how their food is grown and processed. Clean-label certifications are no longer a niche differentiator — they are table stakes for many categories. Basic Grain makes it straightforward to source certified ingredients backed by documentation your quality team will be confident putting in front of any auditor.

Our certified ingredient programs cover organic (USDA & Canada Organic), gluten-free (third-party certified, <10 ppm protocols), and Non-GMO Project Verified options across the majority of our grain portfolio.

We provide certificates of conformance, allergen statements, specification sheets, and test reports upon request — typically within 24–48 hours for standard documentation.

Custom Grain Blends

Sourcing individual grain ingredients from multiple suppliers adds complexity, risk, and cost. Basic Grain's custom blending program lets you consolidate your grain sourcing into a single, pre-blended ingredient delivered to your specification — batch-consistent, properly documented, and ready to add directly to your process.

Our blending capabilities encompass multi-grain cereal blends, functional flour combinations, custom flax-seed mixes, protein-boosted grain blends, and bespoke formulations designed collaboratively with your R&D team. Private-label packaging and branded retail packs are also available.

  • → Recipe development and scaling support
  • → Nutritional profile analysis per blend
  • → Packaging in bulk supersacks or retail bags
  • → Organic & non-GMO blend options

Formulation Assistance

Selecting the right grain ingredient is only the beginning. How that ingredient interacts with your formula, your process, and your nutritional targets is where our technical team adds real value. We work alongside food scientists and product developers to troubleshoot challenges and optimize performance.

Whether you are developing a new oat-based beverage, improving the texture of a high-fibre snack bar, or replacing a synthetic additive with a clean-label oat fiber alternative, our team has the hands-on grain expertise to guide the process.

We provide ingredient recommendations, trial samples, technical data sheets, and formulation consultation at no additional charge for qualified customers. Our goal is for your product to succeed — because when it does, we succeed too.

Request Formulation Support

Guidance on oat fiber inclusion rates, water activity management, and fibre labelling compliance for keto, high-fibre, and reduced-calorie products.

Gluten-Free Baking

Substitution guidance for replacing wheat flours in baked applications, including structural considerations, water absorption adjustments, and texture optimization strategies.

Beta-Glucan Optimization

Technical guidance on beta-glucan enrichment levels needed for heart-health claims, and strategies for preserving molecular weight during processing.

Blend formulation expertise for superfood seed mixes, multi-grain cereals, and nutritional bar inclusions targeting specific omega-3, protein, or fibre nutritional profiles.
