Where others see waste, we see potential.

Built on byproducts. Designed for impact.

A Century Ahead of the Curve.

We saw the need for change—before sustainability was a buzzword. Over 100 years ago, our founders began rerouting usable food co-products into animal feed.

What others discarded, we turned into opportunity. Today, that same mindset drives how we source, supply, and solve challenges across food and feed industries.

Turning Surplus into Supply Chains

Byproduct ≠ waste. It’s usable, functional material with real value.

At Cereal Byproducts, we help food processors and manufacturers transform surplus and co-products into reliable feed ingredients for livestock, pets, poultry, aquaculture, and emerging markets like insect farming.

Through strong supplier partnerships, quality standards, and dependable logistics, we turn excess materials into consistent, high-value solutions, reducing waste while strengthening the supply chain.

Below are a few examples of how surplus becomes opportunity.

Corn Hominy

The leftover from cornmeal and grits production—rich in energy and upcycled into high-value animal feed.

Rice Hulls

Removed during rice milling, we repurpose them for roughage, bedding, and soil amendment in ag and composting industries.

Bakery Waste

Broken crackers, cookies, bread, and pasta are reblended into custom animal feed—minimizing waste, maximizing nutrition.

Bacon Fat

Surplus trimmings from precooked bacon? Repurposed as feed fat or even biodiesel fuel.

♻️ The Impact of Repurposing Byproducts

    • Reduce landfill waste

    • Lower methane emissions

    • Support clean-burning energy inputs

    • Offset environmental impact of food production

    We don’t just sell ingredients.
    We help partners build circular systems that start with surplus and end with real-world impact.

Clean Ingredients, Transparent Supply.

We maintain relationships with a broad network of organic and non-GMO suppliers.
Our sourcing team ensures compliance, traceability, and integrity—whether you're producing pet food, livestock feed, or biofuel blends.
