Non-GMO Affidavit -- This affidavit must be completed for all inputs or ingredients purchased or traded. It must be maintained with audit trail documentation and be available for the inspector to review at the time of inspection. If the affidavit is not on file at the time of inspection, this may delay the certification process, or, ultimately, result in denial of certification, as OCIA Standards clearly state genetically modified seeds and materials may not be used on OCIA certified farms.
Please see OCIA Standards 205.105 (e) and International Requirements B3.1, B3.2, and B3.3.
