- Non GMO Statement
The apricot kernel oil, all raw materials, oils stocks and seeds do not contain the GMO-origin materials and neither had been genetically engineered through recombinant DNA technology.
- Microbiological Statement
Catania-Spagna vegetable oils have low moisture content (typically < 0.05%), 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. Catania packages oil in a closed and sealed system offering little opportunity for contamination from extraneous materials that might harbor pathogens and viral particles.
- Sewer Sludge and Irradiation
Catania-Spagna oil products are not exposed to, nor cultivated in, sewage sludge during production and subsequent processing. The oil is not exposed to any irradiation.
