In order to maintain organic integrity, organic products must be separated from non-organic products during all stages of production and storage.
If an organic processing run follows a non-organic processing run, a removal event must occur. Depending on the nature of the products and the processing facility, a removal event may involve the cleaning of equipment with approved products or purging the processing equipment with a run of organic ingredients (following which they may not be used in certified organic products).
Documentation must be available for the Verification Officers to audit organic vs. non-organic ingredient volumes and product sales.
