Our first 150 kg trial order of dried BSFL for use in a wildlife rehabilitator supply program included a portion of larvae noticeably below the specified 18 mm minimum — approximately 15% of the batch measured at 14–16 mm, which is unsuitable for larger insectivorous species. I raised this with the team and received a response within 4 hours. A credit for the non-conforming portion was issued and the follow-up 200 kg shipment met full sizing specifications verified against our internal grading protocol. Appreciate the responsive handling.
