  8. A PA Preferred® logo is not required because not all PA Preferred® products carry the label.  The name of the ingredients and the source is sufficient.  For a list of acceptable products visit papreferred.com.  Additionally, PA Preferred® staff will assist in locating PA Preferred® ingredients, as needed.
