Non-GMO Project Verified Supplier Since 2012
Verified Non-GMO Ingredients
Captain Drake supplies Non-GMO Project Verified citric acid, citrates, erythritol and organic cane sugar to food, beverage, pet food and nutrition manufacturers nationwide, with documented traceability from feedstock to delivery, shipped from twelve partner warehouses.
—— Who We Are
Captain Drake, Founded in 2012, Backed by Industry Experience Dating to 1986
Captain Drake’s leadership has spent close to forty years producing, manufacturing, and trading food commodities around the world. In 2012 that experience was pointed at a specific problem: nearly all domestic citric acid — and much of the sugar and dairy ingredients used in American food and beverage products — traces back to genetically modified corn, soy, or beet sugar.
So we built the supply chain to solve it: contracted non-GMO growers and mills, and a nationwide network of twelve partner warehouses.
