NOTICE: Flood Damage Grain

Due to federal regulation, POET will not accept flood damaged grain. According to FDA: “If the edible portion of a crop is exposed to flood waters, it is considered adulterated under section 402(a) (4) (21 U.S.C. 342(a) (4) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act and should not enter human food channels. There is no practical method of reconditioning the edible portion of a crop that will provide a reasonable assurance of human food safety. Therefore, the FDA recommends that these crops be disposed of in a manner that ensures they are kept separate from crops that have not been flood damaged to avoid adulterating ‘clean’ crops.” If you have any questions regarding flood damaged grain, please reach out to your POET grain merchandiser.
