Heartland Harvest, an American manufacturer of die cut snack pellets and Harvest Innovations, a processor of protein concentrates and legume and grain flours have formed a strategic partnership to deliver new gluten free pasta and chemical free protein crisps to the food industry.

Harvest Innovations, which has plants in Indianola, Iowa and Deshler, Ohio, uses a chemical free process to produce non-genetically modified and organic, gluten free food ingredients.

Heartland Harvest is in the process of completing a new operation facility in Kankakee, Ill which will enable production to double from current capacity.
