Participants from Central America at the ASA/WISHH Soy in Cooking Course hosted by the National Soybean Research Laboratory at the University of Illinois.

Last month, the American Soybean Association’s World Initiative for Soy in Human Health Program (ASA/WISHH), invited three representatives from a commercial food processing company in Guatemala, and one representative from a government feeding program in El Salvador, to a soy in cooking course.

The course was held at the University of Illinois and hosted by the National Soybean Research Laboratory (NSRL). Participants reported the course to be a great success and one company has already reached out to a U.S. supplier looking for new soy products to include in their product lines and the other organization is committed to using soy in their programming next year.

NSRL and ASA/WISHH are partners in the region and will continue follow up with these projects in 2014.
