Dear Donnie4631588290414377 McDaniel,

On behalf of the United States Department of Agriculture’s (USDA’s) Bio-Preferred° program, I am pleased to inform you that your application for use of the USDA Certified Bio-based Product Label for Spill Absorb has been approved as of February 02, 2021. The test result for Spill Absorb indicates that its bio-based content is 100%. According to your application, you may now use the Label on the product Spill Absorb. The Label remains in effect as long as the product or package is manufactured and marketed in accordance with the approved application and requirements in the US Code of Federal Regulations Title 7§3202 Voluntary Labeling Program for Bio-based Products unless one of the following conditions occurs:

  1. Product or package reformulation: The product or package formulation of the certified product is changed such that the bio-based content is reduced to a level below that reported in the approved application. When products have been reformulated, a new application for certification must be submitted in order to resume using the USDA Certified Bio-based Product Label.
  2. New minimum bio-based content: USDA revises the minimum bio-based content required for a product or package to be eligible to display the certification mark and the product or package does not meet the revised minimum. USDA will inform you that your certification is no longer valid. In this case, you must increase the bio-based content of your product to be at or above the revised minimum and re-apply for certification within 60 days in order to continue to use the certification mark.

Please note that all certifications are subject to USDA’s periodic auditing activities. You must read the Bio-Preferred Brand Guidelines and Graphic Standards document prior to downloading label artwork (e Authentication login is required).

This email is your official notice of bio-based product certification. Please print and save this email should you need to provide certification documentation to any entity. The Bio-Preferred program looks forward to a long and successful partnership with you in the promotion of bio-based products.
