  The health-food store near me only had preservative laden tvp. I
  finally found this stuff from "The Mail Order Catalog":
  
  The Most Commonly Asked Questions About TVP
  
  How much does it make? A small 1 1/2lb bag of any type of TVP will
  give you enough to serve a family of 4 about 3-4 meals, using TVP as
  the main dish. For the Original Granules that's the equivalent of
  6lbs of ground beef.
  
  How long will it keep? The oil content of TVP is quite low, so if
  it's kept in a cool, dry place it will keep indefinately.
  
  What's in it? The only ingredient in TVP is soy flour. Our TVP has
  absolutely no added coloring, flavoring or preservatives. The Original
  Granules and Response Flakes have vitamins added-see the package
  label for a listing.
  
  Our Regular TVP Granules & Superchunks: 1 1/2 lbs. - $8.50 5 lbs. -
  $12.75
  
  Response TVP Flakes ("Most of the carbohydrates that cause gas and
  indigestion have been removed from this product.") 1 1/2lbs. - $8.95

  I, myself, have been ordering from them for about 5 years. Service is
  fast, about 2-3 weeks average, and if there is a problem, like a book
  being out of stock, you are told about it and given the option to
  cancel or wait. My opinion of the tvp products: I *love* the
  superchunks and use them in all my stews and pot-pies. The medium
  bits are comparable to coarsely ground beef and I prefer that in
  chili and other ground beef recipes. I dodn't like the regular
  granules. The taste was different and I had digestive difficulties
  with the above-mentioned vitamins that were added.
