Surplus Plant and Specialty Protein Liquidation & Resale

We move surplus and off-spec plant and specialty proteins — pea, soy, rice, hemp, fava and potato protein, textured proteins, collagen peptides, gelatin, and egg powders — by matching documented lots to qualified ingredient buyers and compliant secondary channels. Send us product specs, dates, packaging and photos; we assess channel fit, price options, and coordinate logistics nationwide.

Selling whey, casein, milk protein or milk powder? Those run through our dairy ingredient program.

How We Handle Plant and Specialty Protein

Supplement manufacturers, plant-based food brands, co-packers and ingredient distributors end up with excess protein through reformulations, clean-label switches, overproduction and cancelled contracts. Plant proteins are bought on function as much as on protein content — solubility, mesh, flavor profile and color all affect who can use a given lot. We evaluate documentation, dates, storage and packaging, then route to the highest-value compliant channel: food ingredient reuse first, then pet food or feed where the grade fits.

What We Accept

Material types: Pea protein isolate and concentrate, soy protein isolate and concentrate, textured vegetable protein (TVP), rice protein, hemp protein, fava protein, potato protein, pumpkin and mung protein, multi-source plant blends, collagen peptides, gelatin, egg white and whole egg powder

Forms: Sealed supersacks, fiber drums with lid intact, sealed bags on pallets, totes (sealed)

Condition: On-spec or off-spec with COA; short-dated; overproduction lots; label-change or reformulation excess; contract cancellations

Volumes: Multi-pallet LTL through full truckload (FTL); rail-adjacent where feasible

Documentation: Best-by / expiration date, lot number, COA or spec sheet where available, allergen declaration, any channel or geography restrictions

Dairy proteins — whey, WPC/WPI, MPI/MPC, casein and NFDM — including expired, off-spec and damaged-bag lots, are handled on our dairy ingredient page.

How It Works

  1. Submit specs — Product name, CAS or INCI if applicable, lot/COA, dates, packaging type, quantity by pallet, photos, pickup ZIP, any restrictions

  2. Channel & pricing — We assess ingredient reuse first, secondary nutritional or food applications next, feed/industrial as last resort; buy-out or brokerage pricing quoted

  3. Logistics — Dry van standard; food-grade carriers available on request; clean, labeled pallets preferred

  4. Reporting — Diversion confirmation, buyer disclosure where required, chain-of-custody documentation available

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1. Which plant and specialty proteins do you handle? A. Pea, soy, rice, hemp, fava, potato, pumpkin and mung protein, textured vegetable protein, protein blends, collagen peptides, gelatin, and egg white or whole egg powder. Volume and lot condition determine what can be placed.

Q2. Do you handle whey, casein, or milk powder? A. Those are dairy proteins and are handled through our dairy ingredient program, which has its own buyer channels and documentation requirements.

Q3. Do you accept short-dated protein inventory? A. Yes. Short-dated protein with a valid COA and intact packaging is a common intake. Expired material is evaluated individually and may route to feed or industrial recovery if it meets those channel requirements.

Q4. Does the lot need a certificate of analysis? A. A COA significantly expands buyer options and speeds placement. We can work without one in some cases, but expect a narrower buyer pool and longer placement timelines.

Q5. Can you handle off-spec or failed QC protein lots? A. Yes, with full disclosure to buyers. Off-spec lots with a documented deviation often find buyers in secondary nutritional, pet food, or industrial applications.

Q6. Can we restrict resale to certain channels or geographies? A. Yes. Brand protection, export restrictions, and channel exclusions are all honored. We screen buyers accordingly before any disclosure.

Q7. What is the minimum volume you will review? A. A few pallets can be reviewed, but truckload volumes generate the strongest buyer interest and best recovery economics.
