The certification has been granted by the internationally acclaimed and BRC accredited independent certifying body Cert ID Europe.
Following a series of intensive raw material and product tests, which were carried out by Cert ID’s team of external auditors, Ulrick & Short’s ingredients have proven to be well below the EU’s adventitious GM legal labelling contamination limit, which currently stands at 0.9%.
The Cert ID non-GM Standard is an all-encompassing assessment of ingredients within the entire supply chain and is an industry recognised benchmark for non-GM identity preservation.
This standard not only assess identity preservation systems but also integrates HACCP with PCR testing to accurately verify that production, handling and quality systems are all non-GM.
A legal limit for GM labelling was established at 0.9% by the EU as a compromise to take into account the fact that due to the level of GM material already in circulation, small levels of cross-contamination are very difficult to avoid.
However, through the assessment carried out by Cert ID, Ulrick & Short can prove that its raw materials and finished ingredients are at the lowest possible contamination limit, putting the company one step ahead of much of its competition.
