Brassica Protection Products LLC (BPP) was created by scientists at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine to ensure that products made from plants that provide sulforaphane and other phytochemicals are developed and made available to the public under rigorous and standardized scientific conditions following strict food safety standards. Bringing safe value-added sprouts to the consumer market includes strict adherence to HACCP food safety systems and the use of GMP and cold chain maintenance.

Brassica Protection Products LLC was founded in 1997 to develop and market to the public scientifically-proven, highly-effective, cancer-protective foods, functional foods, nutriceuticals, and pharmaceuticals.  The company is commercializing technology developed by Paul Talalay, M.D. and Jed W. Fahey, M.S., Sc.D., researchers in the Department of Pharmacology and Molecular Sciences, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine.

A portion of the proceeds from BPP sales is donated to The Brassica Foundation for research on the chemoprotective effects of vegetables.

• We believe our products should be consumed in complement with a diet rich in fruits and vegetables.
• We favor engagement with regulators, as an opportunity to help build the consumer's health and knowledge base.
• We believe that the results of our efforts are proprietary, and thus we protect our intellectual property. We believe that this protection furthers greater innovation in our society.
