Final Product Information1. Is the fi nal product or are any of its ingredients directly produced through genetic engineering? Genetic engineering includes a variety of methods used to genetically modify organisms or infl uence their growth and development by means that are not possible under natural conditions or processes and are not considered compatible with organic production. Such methods include cell fusion, micro- and macro-encapsulation and recombinant DNA technology (including gene deletion, gene doubling, introducing a foreign gene and changing the positions of genes when achieved by recombinant DNA technology). Genetically engineered products or ingredients have the potential to express the trait that has been added by such techniques. These methods do not include the use of traditional breeding, conjugation, fermentation, hybridization, in vitro fertilization or tissue culture. _____________No. (This includes products that are composed entirely of OMRI Listed® products or certifi ed organic foods or fi bers.) ____________ Yes. Indicate which of the ingredients and/or products are genetically engineered and the traits expressed.
