The sustainability of U.S. Soy is independently verified by the U.S. Soy Sustainability Assurance Protocol (SSAP), a comprehensive scheme that ensures soy produced in the United States meets strict environmental, social, and economic sustainability standards. Developed through a multi-stakeholder process and regularly updated, the SSAP combines national conservation laws with best management practices used by U.S. soybean farmers.

In 2024, the FEFAC reaffirmed that the SSAP meets its updated 2023 Soy Sourcing Guidelines. The SSAP has been benchmarked against FEFAC’s criteria since 2015 and has met its conversion-free soy requirements since 2021. Benchmarking is overseen by the International Trade Centre. As of 2024, 99% of U.S. Soy shipments to Europe included SSAP certificates, underscoring the program’s strong compliance and transparency.

SSAP shipment certificates provide international buyers with verified assurance that U.S. Soy is sustainably produced. These certificates are transferable, allowing sustainability claims to be passed along the global supply chain and used in corporate sustainability reporting.

International companies can also use the Sustainable U.S. Soy and Fed with Sustainable U.S. Soy labels at no cost. To qualify, processed soy products must contain at least 60% SSAP-verified U.S. Soy, while whole soybean products must contain at least 90%. Animal products such as pork, poultry, or shrimp may also carry the “Fed with” label if the feed ration contains at least 60% certified U.S. Soy. These labels provide a credible and transparent way for U.S. Soy customers to showcase their commitment to sustainability.
