but are not limited to Lead (<0.1 ppm), Cadmium (<0.05ppm), Chromium (<0.05ppm), Mercury (<0.05ppm),
and Arsenic (<0.1ppm).

To the best of our knowledge, this product is not at risk of exposure to chemicals or substance on the CMR list.
As well as likely meets EU criteria on 3-MCPD and GE content.

Other contaminants – There is no known content of contamination of potentially hazardous components in this
vegetable oils. These components include but are not limited to mycotoxins, phthalates, PAH, BPa, Dioxin,
melamine, ethylene oxide, zearalenone, and organic solvents

GMO Statement:
Non GMO
This term shall be used to describe products that contain NO ingredients, additives or processing aides derived
from commodities that have commercially grown GMO varieties in the supply chain (i.e. contains no soybean,
corn, cotton, canola, squash, papaya, potato or tomato).

genetically modified organisms (GMOs) or substances derived thereof.

As per the USDA, this product is not considered Bioengineered and no additional labeling is necessary.

Microbiological Statement:
Our Vegetable Oil products have low moisture content (less than 0.05% typical), have been processed at
elevated temperatures, and lack nutrients essential to support growth of most microorganisms. Organisms
considered food-borne pathogens or of concern from a quality standpoint are not able to proliferate in oil; Our
processes and packs oil and shortening in a closed and sealed system offering little opportunity for
contamination from extraneous materials that might harbor pathogens, viral particles etc.

The limits for each microorganism tested are outlined to the right.

Organism Limits
Total Plate Count Less than 100 per gram

Allergens:
White Bees Wax, CFC 932 does not contain any of the nine major allergens, which are soy, eggs, peanut, milk,
wheat, tree nuts, fish, sesame and crustacean fish.

The original source may be considered an allergen, although this product is not known to be allergenic. Consult
with your doctor because it may be recommended that if a person has a severe allergy; they should avoid using
this oil as it can give side effects. Follows Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection Act of 2004 (FALCPA)
(Pub. L. 108-282).

Refined, bleached, and deodorized (RBD) oils do not contain any proteinaceous material. The high temperature
and filtration used in the RBD process effectively removes any proteins, potentially allergenic material from the
oil. Furthermore, refined oils do not require allergen labeling under the Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer
Protection Act of 2004 (FALCPA).

RBD oils derived from an allergen source include: Allergen Labeling required for Europe (Directive 2000/13/EC
and Directive 2007/68/EC). Please reference your country of destination legislation for any additional allergen
labeling.

Stored Products:
Allergens listed below are not found in the oil production facility, and those marked with * may be stored
and labeled in the warehouse in finished form. All products come from approved suppliers. Each product is
evaluated on the potential cross contamination with other products and allergens in the approved supplier’s
facility. If there is any risk to that product, then it is stated at the top of this section as “may contain” or
“contains”. Otherwise if it is not, those Allergens or Sensitizing Agents listed below DO NOT pose any threat
to any of CVO’s finished products.

Allergen Cross-Contamination Prevention:

Potential allergenic materials are produced using designated storage and processing, the risk of contamination
is extremely low. When flush oils are used these are isolated and used only in products that may contain the
same allergens. All containers and storage tanks are labeled accordingly if they may contain allergens. We also
has a dressing plant in the same building but in a separate, closed area. The allergens handled there are wheat,
soy, milk, eggs, fish and celery. There are procedures in place to minimize any cross contamination and risk.
