Introduction
Aflatoxin control is the most critical safety requirement in peanut and tree-nut exports. Robust prevention and verified testing protect consumers and keep lanes open.
Why Safety Control Matters
-
Source control – approved farms, good drying, and clean storage prevent mold formation.
-
Sampling & testing – statistically valid sampling, accredited HPLC/LC-MS or rapid test kits with lab confirmation.
-
Traceability – lot coding links farm, dryer, warehouse bin, and lab COA for every container.
Challenges in Aflatoxin Management
Tropical humidity, slow drying, or poor storage can elevate aflatoxin quickly. Non-representative sampling or expired kits undermines credibility at destination.
Our Commitment
We enforce moisture ≤ 8–9% (per product), use drying patios/silo aeration, inspect warehouse hygiene, and test each lot pre-shipment. COAs are attached to documents and archived digitally.
Conclusion
Prevention in the field, verified by accredited testing, delivers safe peanuts and nuts that clear destination limits.
