Last updated: July 2026 dataDistillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS) — the dominant product in this category — have become a globally traded, high-volume feed ingredient as ethanol production expanded, offering a concentrated source of protein, fat, and digestible fiber for cattle, swine, and poultry. Spent brewer's grain (wet or dried) and distillery slop also fall here, though their lower dry-matter content limits long-distance trade compared with DDGS. Mycotoxin contamination (particularly aflatoxin and vomitoxin) is a recurring quality concern for grain-based distilling residues, and buyers routinely require mycotoxin testing certificates as a condition of purchase.

The fermentation and drying process concentrates mycotoxins present in the original grain by roughly three times relative to the raw feedstock. Aflatoxin and deoxynivalenol (DON/vomitoxin) are the most common concerns; FDA has established action levels for both in animal feed. Importers should require a third-party mycotoxin certificate of analysis from each lot before acceptance.
Wet spent grain (high moisture) is typically a local or regional commodity due to rapid spoilage, while dried forms such as DDGS are shelf-stable and suitable for international trade. At the HTS level, wet versus dried presentation can affect the applicable tariff line, so the moisture specification in the commercial invoice should accurately reflect the product's condition at export.
