The Agricultural Marketing Service, Federal Grain Inspection Service (FGIS), has issued the Bean Inspection Handbook dated July 2021.
The Bean Handbook is being updated to reflect changes to section 1.15 Combined-Lot Inspections h. for certification of combined-lots.
The change is as follows:
h. Each official certificate for a combined-lot inspection service must show in the identification field:
(1) The identification for the “combined-lot” or (if multiple ID’s), the ID “See Remarks-(carrier ID from original inspection with most recent service date)” with the identification of each carrier in the combined-lot in the “Remarks” section of the certificate.
(2) Any seal information for the carriers must be shown in the “Remarks” section of the certificate.
