Systems and methods for generating a composition of fiber and the composition of fiber from corn are provided. Raw fiber is washed with de-starched water at between about 60 and 200° F. for between approximately 5 and 20 minutes. The washed fiber is dewatered and rewashed, under similar conditions, with process water. The second wash fiber is dewatered, dried, and milled to generate processed fiber. The processed fiber may have a composition of less than about 10% moisture, at least about 85% fiber on a dry weight basis, less than about 2-4% fat on a dry weight basis, less than about 1.5% ash on a dry weight basis, less than about 9% starch on a dry weight basis, a low sulfite content, and less than about 2% starch. Additionally, the fiber may contain less than about 0.1 ppb Aflatoxin, 0.1 ppm Fumonison, 0.2 ppm Deoxynivalenol, and 75 ppb Zearalenone.
