It is an official AOSCA program designed to offer the same certified service to grain and to differentiate the unique traits from the commodity grain. The program includes field inspection, bin testing, lab testing, and labeling with a Identity Preserved logo. The program can be customized to fit the needs of the customer or the product inspected. The IP inspection service can be used for unique traits developed through biotechnology or as a way to differentiate conventional developed grain from that which was developed through the use of biotechnology.
