USDA Renews IMI Global's Process Verification Program (PVP) Status
IMI's Programs Playing a Growing Role Amid Human Food and Pet Food Safety Concerns
CASTLE ROCK, CO--(Marketwire - August 13, 2007) - Integrated Management Information, Inc.
(IMI Global) (OTCBB : INMG ), a leading provider of verification and Internet
solutions for the agricultural/livestock industry, today announced that the
USDA has renewed the Company's Process Verification Program (PVP) for a one
year period. IMI Global has had USDA approval of its PVP since 2005.
IMI Global's PVP is the cornerstone of the Company's service that helps
cattle ranchers, feedyards and packing houses achieve and maintain
compliance with Export Verification (EV) programs. The PVP includes a
component for source, age and process verification that meets the import
specification of countries such as Japan, Korea and most recently of the
European Union. Cattle that are age, source and process verified by IMI
Global's PVP programs are receiving premiums at auction. The PVP is also
playing a growing role in reassuring consumers of US products.
"We are pleased with the USDA's recent renewal of our programs and look
forward to a continued positive working relationship with the USDA," said
John Saunders, president and CEO of IMI Global. "With industry-leading PVP
systems and a strong track record of innovation in supporting higher
standards of process verification, IMI Global is uniquely positioned to
meet an emerging and diverse market demand for improved information
transparency regarding food supplies. The growing movement toward country
of origin labeling for food is a good example of this demand, and IMI
Global expects to play an important role in this area. The pet food
contamination scare, which involved melamine-tainted ingredients from
China, is another prominent example. In response to this we launched Pet
Supply Verified™, a new pet food verification system based on our
successful SupplyVerified™ program for livestock."
