| Soil analysis to determine the levels of Lead & Cadmium must have been carried out for each field that is to be used for the production of Fresh Produce, within a period of five years.
Rationale to limit the testing for these elements may be accepted, using historic and geological data. Reference to the maximum permissible concentrations of potentially toxic elements in soil, should be made and the use of land which exceeds these levels, is prohibited.
Certificates of analysis must be made available to Co-operative Retail on request and must be held for a minimum of five years.
