Axiom Foods’ History
David became a recognized expert in rice protein manufacturing when he created the feed grade specification for rice protein in animal food in 2002. This specification has been used by major pet manufactures since then and has been recognized as the standard in the animal food industry. By creating the 65% protein specification for the animal food industry, David realized that the technology to achieve these levels was nearly impossible to follow by other manufacturers. While other feed grade rice protein manufacturers resorted to adding Melamine in 2005 to achieve a false positive protein measurement and falsely convince the animal feed arena to meet the Axiom specification, Axiom Foods remained dedicated to proprietary, chemical-free processes and certified organic product development while maintaining protein levels consistently higher than any other competitor.
Realizing the huge potential for feed grade rice protein in animals, David embarked on a vision to make an industry-setting food grade standard that could help people. Celiac patients, plus heart healthy, lactose intolerant, toddlers, vegan, “raw”, gluten free, fat free, and hypo-allergenic customers alike, would be able to use this protein and gain the beneficial effects of an all natural, non-denatured, complete protein source; a protein source that helps in their quests to become healthier individuals. David started Axiom Foods with the vision of continuously creating standard-setting, hypoallergenic WGBR (whole grain brown rice) ingredients. Still working closely with Cheryl, Axiom Foods has most recently created improved, patent-pending, FOOD grade protein products at 70%, 80% and 90% concentrations which remain unmatched in this category by any other rice protein manufacturer. In addition to protein, Axiom’s continuously expanding WGBR product lines include syrups, sweeteners, milks, bran, flours and starches.
Always dedicated to growth through service, technology and having our fingers on the pulse of the brown rice industry, Axiom’s latest forays are into:
- Private Label rice protein drinks, bars and more, with the help of our formulators
- Proprietary blends making it easier for larger food manufacturers to combine ingredients, starting with the Megatein™ line which incorporates rice protein with other proteins. The results feature a maximized amino acid profile and improved economics.
