Quality
Every batch, lab-tested and documented
From the raw-material check at intake to the final COA at dispatch — a controlled, traceable batch journey with the tests logged at every stage.
The batch journey
From raw-material check to dispatch
Seven stages, each with its own checks. Every lot is traceable back to its raw material and forward to its lined bag.
- 01
Raw-material check
Incoming produce inspected for variety, defects, field moisture and pesticide records.
Variety checkVisual defectsPesticide records - 02
Sorting & washing
Hand and optical sorting, gentle abrasive wash; wash-water quality monitored.
Optical sortWash-water check - 03
Slicing
Cut to size — flakes, chopped, minced, granules — and verified against the order.
Cut-size check - 04
Low-temperature dehydration
Belt drying under controlled low temperature; time and temperature logged to preserve colour, pungency and lycopene.
Temp / time logMoisture target - 05
Milling & sieving
Milled and sieved to the ordered mesh range; overs rejected back to the mill.
Mesh verificationOvers rejection - 06
Metal detection & lab testing
Every lot passes metal detection and is sampled for the full lab panel.
