An integral part of the “Materials Receipt Procedures” is the GMO Control System. The system is designed in cooperation with SGS Belgium and SGS Agrilab to take advantage of their world wide experience and based on the background information in Identity Preservation Systems and Consignment Basis Operations according to EU regulations EC 1830/2003effective as of 18. Apr. 2004; appropriate measures to avoid GMO contamination is stated based on the ‘‘Concept of Traceability’’.  and lately by legislation EC No: 178/2002effective as of 01. Jan. 2005; GMO content is stated as criteria to be controlled by ‘‘Risk Management Systems’’ involving all operators along the supply chain..

 The system is formally evaluated each year with full records of traceability, transportation, testing, segregation, storage and related processes to be verified with an “Attestation of Recognition” by SGS AGRILAB. For consignment basis testing, SGS AGRILAB is contracted for the sampling of each incoming vessel at discharge or truck at the place of loading according to GAFTA sampling standards. Composite samples are prepared and dispatched to the accredited GeneScan GmbH Laboratories of the Eurofins Group in Freiburg, Germany for verification and certification of the Non-GMO nature of incoming corn. All Semolina product lots are shipped with a NON-GMO certificate with reference to the related Genescan testing.
