Rice Protein Crisps
Rice Protein Crisps are extruded, crispy inclusions made from rice protein concentrate combined with rice starch and minor binding agents. They deliver protein fortification together with a light, crunchy texture in bars, cereals, and snack coatings.
Typical protein content runs from 60 to 80 percent on the finished crisp. The format mirrors soy protein crisps, but with the allergen-friendly profile of rice.
We source bulk Rice Protein Crisps from top China manufacturers for our partners. The manufacturer is in Henan. A smaller requirement can ship in a combined container with other ingredients.
Please send the grade you need, the volume and your destination port, and we will come back with a solution and a price.

Common Markets Grades
Rice Protein Crisps are graded by protein content, particle size, and colour.
The mainstream bar grade is 60 percent protein, sized 2 to 4 millimeters, which gives the right snap and visible inclusion in a finished bar.
Higher protein grades at 70 and 80 percent are produced for premium bar lines and for clinical nutrition bars where protein density is critical.
Particle size variants include 1 to 2 millimeter fines for cereal flakes and coating dusts, and 4 to 6 millimeter pieces for visible chunks in granola.
Coloured and flavoured grades are produced for specific bar concepts: cocoa, vanilla, and toasted variants. Organic and non-GMO grades are widely available.
Applications
- Protein bars as the primary crispy inclusion, replacing soy crisps in allergen-free formulations
- Energy bars and breakfast bars for textural contrast
- Ready-to-eat breakfast cereals and granola clusters
- Chocolate bars and chocolate-coated confectionery for crunch with protein
- Yogurt toppings and parfait inclusions
- Ice cream mix-ins and topping clusters
- Snack mixes and trail mixes as a protein-fortified component
- Cookie and biscuit inclusions for textural variation
- Pancake and waffle mixes for crisp protein bits
- Plant-based meat analogs as a structural texturizer
- Pet treats as a crunchy protein-fortified piece

How We Help Source Rice Protein Crisps
Direct Factory Sourcing
We run the whole process: selecting the manufacturer from the top Chinese food ingredient producers, negotiating the price, verifying quality, and coordinating the logistics. You deal with us instead of with several factories at once.
Original Packaging and Documents from the Manufacturer
The manufacturer sends your Rice Protein Crisps out of its own factory in the original packing, through to your destination port. The COA, COO, MSDS, TDS and any certifications reach you from the manufacturer as well.
Free Samples and Lead Time
We send 100 to 500 g free for your own laboratory to test and you cover only the courier, usually within 2 to 3 working days. ETD is usually within 7 to 15 days once the order is confirmed, and we check that date against the factory's own manufacturing schedule before we give it to you.
Combined Shipment
We can load Rice Protein Crisps together with other ingredients such as Collagen Peptide, Soy Protein Isolate and Fish Collagen Peptide into one 20' FCL. If your quantity is small, we can also ship LCL.
Regulatory Status
Rice Protein Crisps are regulated as a composite food ingredient made from conventional food materials.
In the United States the constituent ingredients (rice protein, rice starch, minor additives) are Generally Recognized as Safe. The finished crisp does not require premarket approval.
In the European Union the product is treated as a standard food ingredient and does not require Novel Food authorisation, as the ingredients and the extrusion process have a long history of use.
Allergen labelling depends on the additives used. The rice base itself does not trigger allergen disclosure in the major markets.
Kosher, Halal, vegan, and gluten-free certifications are routinely available when the formulation is built without barley malt or other gluten sources.
Manufacturing Process
Rice Protein Crisps are produced by twin-screw extrusion of a dry blend of rice protein, rice starch, and minor additives.
The dry blend is metered into a twin-screw extruder. Water is injected to bring moisture to 15 to 20 percent. Mechanical shear and barrel heating drive temperatures to 120 to 160 degrees Celsius for a short residence time.
The dough emerges through a die under pressure. Rapid pressure drop flashes off moisture, expanding the matrix into a porous structure. A face-mounted rotating knife cuts the extrudate into pellets, which are then dried in a fluid-bed dryer to below 5 percent moisture.
The crisp texture depends on careful balance between protein and starch. Too much protein gives a hard, dense piece. Too much starch gives a fragile crisp that crumbles in a bar matrix.
Optional coating steps add cocoa, sugar, or flavour compounds for differentiated end products.
