- Or grown by another Safe Haven Assured production unit.
- Or for first generation Pre Basic production, all seed has been derived in a direct line (without further clonal selection) from UK nuclear stock, e.g. SASA ring rot tested nuclear stock or SASA quarantine tested in-vitro plant material, and have been produced by an officially approved mini-tuber producer.
Or seed produced from true potato seed.

Purchase records including seller’s Safe Haven membership number.
