ABOUT THE SAC

The Scientific Advisory Committee (SAC) of the ENSA

Established in January 2003, the ENSA represents the interests of Natural Soyfoods Manufacturers in Europe. The term "natural" refers to the production process used by ENSA members to produce food using whole soybeans. Soy food products from ENSA members are produced without any use of GM (genetically modified) material or GM beans.

The founding principle of ENSA combines a belief in natural soy products and the use of sound science. ENSA seeks to raise awareness among EU citizens and promote the consumption of natural soy products, which are an integral part of a healthy balanced lifestyle. The ENSA is an association of internationally operating companies, ranging from large corporations to small, family-owned businesses.

ENSA is advised by a scientific committee, the SAC, which consists of renowned academics from different European countries. The SAC regularly meets to discuss the recent developments in nutrition research, in particular those related to soyfoods. They give advice on scientific and health related matters, notably through the development of position papers and factsheets on various issues.
