Basic Food Flavors

Basic Food Flavors, Inc. is a private company based in North Las Vegas, Nevada, United States. Established in 1980, they have developed a line of hydrolyzed vegetable protein (HVP), soy sauce and soy base products.[1][2] It produces 120 varieties of HVP which are used in various products including chips, soups, dressings and snack foods. A private company which does not make financial information public, annual sales have been estimated as between $20 and $50 million.[3]

On March 4, 2010 the United States Food and Drug Administration announced it was conducting an investigation after a customer of Basic Food Flavors reported finding Salmonella in one production lot of HVP.[4] Affected bulk, ready-to-eat and ready-to-cook HVP products were recalled in the U.S. and Canada.[5] The recall resulted in 177 products being removed from grocery shelves.[6]

About 1990, the company moved to Nevada from Pomona, California, complaining that California's economic regulations were too strict and expensive.[7][8][9]
