Quality Assurance

Quality control that happens before the inquiry, not after the complaint

Every lot that enters our warehouse goes through the same four checkpoints before it's eligible for packing — regardless of which buyer or market it's destined for.

01

Incoming Lot Inspection

Raw material is sampled on arrival and checked for moisture, foreign matter and visual grade before it's accepted into inventory.

02

In-House Lab Testing

Our quality lab tests purity, admixture, moisture and commodity-specific parameters — curcumin content for turmeric, volatile oil for cumin and fennel, swell volume for isabgol.

03

Cleaning & Grading

Mechanical sieve cleaning, destoning and gravity separation bring each lot to the grade ordered, with manual sorting for visual defects.

04

Pre-Shipment Verification

A final sample is drawn after packing and matched against the buyer's agreed specification before the container is sealed.

Heavy Metal & Contaminant Testing

We test for what destination labs test for

Turmeric in particular carries a well-documented risk of lead contamination, whether from soil conditions or, in poor-quality supply chains, adulteration. We run heavy-metal screening on turmeric lots and provide a Certificate of Analysis covering lead, cadmium and other contaminants on request — increasingly expected by US and EU buyers even where it isn't formally mandated.

  • Pesticide residue testing available on request
  • Aflatoxin testing for groundnuts and oilseeds
  • Microbiological testing (Salmonella, E. coli) for food-grade lots
  • Third-party lab verification via NABL-accredited labs on buyer request

A

Climate-Controlled Warehousing

Ventilated, pest-managed storage keeps moisture stable between intake and packing, particularly important for isabgol and oilseeds.

B

Pest & Fumigation Management

Scheduled fumigation and pest monitoring across the facility, with shipment-specific fumigation certificates issued on dispatch.

Lot Traceability

Every bag is marked with a lot number traceable back to procurement source and test date.
