In an extensive year-and-a-half researched Organic Soy Scorecard, Eden Foods earned the highest score, 955 out of 1,000, among 62 North American soy foods brands. The Cornucopia Institute, an objective independent research and advocacy organization dedicated to preserving organic integrity and creating economic justice for family farmers, released the report May 2009. Soyfoods were rated on ten criteria including sourcing, stringency of organic certifier, and prevention of GMO and chemical contamination. Eden Foods was declared a hero in the organic soy industry.

As soy became popular for health benefits in the late 80s and 90s many commercial food processors rushed through a series of short cuts to exploit it. Though labeled 'healthy' most soy foods are made using cheap processes and ingredients, cheap imported organic? soy and grain, isolated soy protein hexane extracted and treated with a catalog of toxic petrochemicals, and other unsavory additives. Most use undeclared chemical flavor maskers and refined sugars. Evaporated or dried cane juice is sugar, and organic sugar is an oxymoron. EDENSOY is a wise choice for those seeking high quality pure food.

Eden established a policy banning genetically engineered organisms (GEOs or GMOs) and their derivatives in February 1993. EDEN is your best assurance of freedom from genetically engineered experiments and their derivatives. Meticulous audit trails and tests at the farm, storage elevator, and maker guarantee the purity of EDENSOY. When the New York Times tested eleven soy and corn based foods only one tested GEO free - EDENSOY.

EDENSOY's aseptic cartons are over 70% renewable, recyclable paperboard from certified responsibly managed forests. Their most valuable benefit to the planet is that they require no refrigeration in transport or storage. To take a food that requires no refrigeration and make it into one isn't a good idea. According to the EPA greenhouse gas emissions from refrigerated transport have increased exponentially since the 1990s. EDENSOY does not contribute to this problem.
