Pesticide residues
Products must meet EU maximum residue levels. We test against them before shipping when you need it.
Contaminants
Aflatoxins, ochratoxin A and other contaminants have strict EU limits for spices. Lab reports are available per lot.
Ethylene oxide & microbiology
No ethylene oxide treatment. Steam sterilisation is available where buyers need low microbial counts.
Coffee & EUDR
The EU Deforestation Regulation covers coffee. We work with buyers on traceability and plot data as it applies.
Official controls
Some origin and product combinations face extra checks at EU borders. We plan documents and testing around them.
Labelling
Bulk and private label packs labelled for the destination market, with lot numbers for traceability.
Read EU requirements for importing spices and EUDR for coffee importers. Rules change, so we confirm the current requirements for each shipment.
