Medical - Medical: Pharmaceuticals / Cosmetic drugs
German term or phrase: verschleppte Rohstoffe
This is from literature advertising the benefits of a brand of pharmaceutical products: organic ingredients, no genetically altered raw materials, etc., and the following:

"Kein Allergierisiko durch verschleppte Rohstoffe".

The only meanings I can find for "verschleppt" are "displaced" or "prolonged". Does anyone know what this means in this context?

Thanks.
