| NSRL and ISA Ship Soy-Based Soup Mix to Haiti |
 In response to the tragic earthquake in Haiti, the Illinois Soybean Association (ISA) in conjunction with the National Soybean Research Laboratory (NSRL) at the University of Illinois announced today plans to ship a container of soy-based soup mix to Haiti for distribution by the Haiti National School Lunch Program.
A shipping container will depart for Port-au-Prince, Haiti loaded with packages of soup mix containing Textured Soy Protein (TSP), lentils and rice. The ready-to-prepare recipe requires water and heating and will provide 975,000 servings for immediate nourishment and fortification for the people of Haiti. TSP is an easy-to-incorporate dry soy food made from defatted soy flour that has been texturized through an extrusion process and formed into granules. TSP, when hydrated, resembles meat and takes on the flavor of the other ingredients it is combined with.
The full press release can be found at our Recent Press website, or as a pdf document.
