Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO)

Additives derived from Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO’s) are not intentionally used in the
formulation of this product.

Kosher Certification

We do not certify our resins to be Kosher or in compliance with Kosher requirements.

The additives and ingredients used to manufacture this resin may be derived from animal sources. The
authorities holding the strictest interpretation within the Kosher certification community maintain that use
of an additive from an animal source, such as tallow, in the packaging material disqualifies the packaging
material and, in turn, the food from Kosher certification. Other rabbinical authorities assert with equal
firmness that such additives used in the packaging materials do not affect the Kosher status of foods if
the materials are safe in the public health sense and do not affect the taste or odor.

Latex

No materials containing latex or natural rubber are used in the manufacturing, handling and packaging
processes for this product.
