Buy Surplus Starches, Grains & Flours at Below-Market Prices
We connect food manufacturers with verified surplus starches, grain-based ingredients, and functional flours from major U.S. producers and ingredient distributors. Our inventory includes modified and native corn starches, oat fiber, tapioca starch, flax seed, barley grass powder, and waxy maize — available at 30–60% below current wholesale pricing.
Every lot ships with a Certificate of Analysis and full traceability documentation. These materials are sourced from FDA-registered, GMP-compliant facilities and are warehoused domestically for fast shipping.
Why Food Manufacturers Source Surplus Starches & Grain Ingredients
Starches and grain-based ingredients are high-volume, cost-sensitive inputs for bakeries, snack producers, cereal manufacturers, and prepared food companies. Even a modest per-pound savings on corn starch or oat fiber compounds quickly when you're buying tens of thousands of pounds per production cycle.
Surplus lots become available when food manufacturers change formulations, consolidate warehouse space, or overestimate seasonal demand. The product is manufactured to the same specification as full-price wholesale — same supplier, same COA, same food-grade certification — but priced significantly lower because the original buyer no longer needs it. We verify every lot's documentation and handle freight coordination so your procurement team receives a turnkey sourcing experience.

Types of Surplus Starches & Grain Ingredients We Regularly Source
We handle surplus lots across every major starch and grain category used in food manufacturing. Modified and native corn starches are our most frequently available items, typically from large-scale food producers rotating safety stock or consolidating facilities. Waxy maize starch comes through regularly from snack and confectionery manufacturers. Oat fiber, both conventional and organic, is common from cereal and bar producers. We also source tapioca starch from gluten-free product manufacturers, organic flax seed from health food companies, and barley grass powder from juice and supplement producers.
Quantities range from single pallets to full truckloads depending on the lot. If you don't see what you need listed above, join our preferred buyer network and we'll notify you when a matching lot comes in.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are surplus starches and grains the same quality as full-price wholesale? Yes. Every lot we handle is virgin surplus — produced, packaged, and stored under standard food manufacturing conditions. The material never entered a production line. We provide the original manufacturer's Certificate of Analysis so your QA team can verify that the lot meets your specifications before purchase.
Why are these ingredients priced below market? Surplus pricing reflects the seller's situation, not the product's quality. Common reasons starches and grains become surplus include production schedule changes, recipe reformulations, facility closures, seasonal overstock, and warehouse consolidation. The seller needs to move inventory, which creates an opportunity for cost-conscious buyers.
What packaging formats are available? It varies by lot. Starches typically come in 50 lb bags, supersacks (1,000–2,000 lbs), or occasionally bulk tanker for liquid starch. Grain ingredients like flax seed and oat fiber are usually in bags or supersacks. We list the packaging format for every item in our inventory.
Do you carry organic and non-GMO certified starches? We frequently have both. Organic oat fiber, organic flax seed, and non-GMO tapioca starch are common in our inventory. All certifications are verified through the original manufacturer's documentation and we pass along USDA Organic certificates, Non-GMO Project verifications, and Kosher/Halal certifications when applicable.
What's the shelf life on surplus starches? Most dry starches and grain-based ingredients have shelf lives of 12–24 months from manufacture. Some surplus lots may be past their Best By date, which indicates peak quality rather than safety. We clearly disclose all date codes on every quote so your team can make an informed decision based on your production timeline.
