It all began in 2006.
That’s when the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) required food products to carry trans fat content on labels. Vistive™ soybeans offer an opportunity for food manufacturers to show reduced trans fat presence on their labels.
Better for food manufacturers. A better return on investment for you.
Vistive soybeans are a better solution for those in the food industry searching for reliable supplies of oil without the trans fats and high percentages of saturated fat of other oils. That’s why growing Vistive soybeans from NC+ means growing a smarter, more profitable product.

Low trans fats mean bushel premiums.
Because of the food labeling requirement-and an increasing demand from consumers for healthier foods-processors are offering a premium on soybean products with little or no trans fats. Growers benefit from this because it creates a ready and profitable market for Vistive soybeans.
How the program works.
Producers grow Vistive soybeans under contract with participating soybean processors, who crush the grain, refine the oil, and then market that oil to food companies. Participating processors offer growers a premium for Vistive soybeans.
