Declaration of Conformity Concerning Our Malt

We are writing to confirm that to the best of our knowledge and in good conscience the
production of malt in our facilities conforms to all German and European legal requirements
known to us as well as to all legal requirements and statutory provisions governing food
production. All products of BESTMALZ® are fully traceable and thus in accordance with
Directives 2002/178/EC and 2004/1935/EC.

European laws require that a company has a system of traceability in place and can also
guarantee that its products are free from harmful substances. As part of our compliance
with these laws, we regularly participate in a testing program performed by the SGS and the
Organization of German maltsters, in which our products are regularly subject to analysis for
the presence of harmful substances. The complete set of data collected from the
participants in this system is evaluated and summarized on an annual basis and
subsequently made available to the participants, and therefore to their customers.

Therefore we always go below the maximum levels of nitrosamine, residues of pesticides,

heavy metals and mycotoxins in accordance with the existing EC Directives.

Kind regards from Heidelberg
