We have a commercial policy written under a CP 00 10 04 02 Building Form; with a CP 10 30 04 02, Cause of Loss form; and a CP 04 40 06 95 Spoilage Coverage Endorsement added to it. The insured sells meat they raise on their farm from the location indicated on the declaration. (The business and home address are the same). The meat is processed elsewhere.
