02/24/15 10:11:27 AMIn light of the recent 2009 corn syrup corn crop it has become a concern of Plymouth Energy to adopt a Vomitoxin (DON) sampling and testing policy to provide confidence to our suppliers, customers, and employees that Plymouth Energy is a well established, proactive company that has the greatest confidence in the co-products it produces and markets. That being said, Vomitoxin has been detected at very low manageable levels, and for this reason Plymouth Energy has implemented daily and weekly sampling and testing protocols for Vomitoxin (DON). Current Vomotixin (DON) concentration levels are available upon request as well as complete nutritional analysis of WDGS, DDGS, and Syrup. Please refer to advisory levels for Vomitoxin in animal feeds proposed by U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
