• When IP raw materials are received, IP documentation is received. IP documentation includes a signed certificate of origin. Approved IP raw materials are segregated from non-IP approved raw materials.
• In cases where IP documentation is not available, raw materials are PCR tested for GMO content. This raw material testing is performed annually.
• Identity preserved finished products are packaged and segregated from regular products.
• All documents verifying compliance with these procedures are on file and available for review.

10. All granulated products, all multi-mineral blends, and spray dried products that do not contain iron or manganese are
    
passed through a metal detection system during packaging operations. Due to metal detection interferences, spray dried products containing iron or manganese are passed through a 40 micron screen at the final stage of the production process to remove any metal that may be present. Procedures are in place to ensure the integrity of the screen before and after each batch.
