English translation: finished products

Bus/Financial - Business/Commerce (general) / conditions for foodstuffs production
French term or phrase: départs de ligne
Another question from my translation of a set of documents for a foodstuffs company. This time the document deals with precautions in food production to retain organic, soy free status etc.

In relation to soy free status, "Interdiction d’utilisation d’un baril de lécithine de soya pour recueillir les *départs de ligne*.

I can’t find this phrase anywhere, it could be starting components? Or items removed from the production line? Any suggestions gratefully received.

English translation:finished products
Explanation:
It would indeed help to know what product is being manufactured, and I would ask the client.
Otherwise I agree that finished product is the most logical meaning, i.e. products "departing" the production line. After all, if it meant e.g. waste collected at the initial stage(s), presumably it wouldn't matter if this was contaminated by soya in the collecting vessel...
(Though all the figurative uses of the phrase I found did seem to imply initial rather than final...).
NB "baril" seems to be "drum" in the context of soya lecithin, rather than "barrel".
But .
