Quality Assurance

Tested Against What Your Regulator Asks For

EU and US import rejections come down to a short list: heavy metals, aflatoxins, pesticide residue, microbial load. We test for them at the batch level, through third-party laboratories, and hand you the result before you commit.

Every batch ships with a report your QA team can file and your customs broker can present. No re-testing at the port. No surprises at the border.

Our Standards

What We Measure

Six checkpoints that decide whether a batch is export grade or stays in the warehouse.

Curcumin Content

The number your buyers actually pay for. Premium grades run 4.0% – 5.5%, verified per batch rather than assumed from origin.

Moisture Control

Held to 8–12%. Above that, turmeric grows mould in transit; below it, weight and aroma suffer. Both cost you money.

Heavy Metals

Lead, arsenic, cadmium and mercury screened against import limits — the single most common cause of border rejection.

Microbiology

Aerobic plate count, yeast and mould, E. coli and salmonella. Food-safety failures are not negotiable, so we screen for them first.

Volatile Oil

Measured to confirm authentic turmeric aroma and flavour — the marker that separates real material from padded material.

Third-Party Testing

Independent laboratories, not an in-house sign-off. Unbiased verification is the only kind a procurement team can defend.
