Trusted Byproduct Sourcing Since 1917

Since 1917, Cereal Byproducts has supplied manufacturers with raw feed ingredients, agricultural byproducts, and specialty bulk materials used across animal nutrition, feed manufacturing, and industrial applications.

Hazelnut processing can create several valuable byproduct streams beyond food-grade kernels. Depending on availability, grade, sizing, and specs, hazelnut shells, chips, culls, skins, and other processing byproducts may support feed, bird feed, small animal feed, landscaping, mulch, and specialty material markets.

We Support:

  • Feed manufacturers evaluating alternative ingredient options

  • Bird feed producers looking for nut-based inclusions or chipped material

  • Small animal feed companies sourcing specialty byproduct ingredients

  • Mulch suppliers using natural shell-based materials

  • Landscape product manufacturers creating decorative ground cover or pathway materials
