Identity Preserved Material.

In order to standardize the taste profile our QA department instructed to use certain ingrediants of specific origin for particular products. Should all such ingrediants be treated as Identity Preserved Material?

Prior thanks for expert opinions!

Only if mixing up with conventional ingredients is possible.
E.g.: if you have in place chicken meat and organic chicken meat; cheese and vegetarian cheese or berries and berries from specific growers.

Dear Madam A. D-tor

Thank you for your recommendation. I'll make sure that each of our item should have a unique code with respect to its origin. And besides separate storage and handling I'll make a work instruction to be communicated to storage and processing area that specify the requirements to keep separate even similar items with different material codes.

I think this would be enough to fulfill the requirements of safe handling Identity Preserved Materials.
