Our first 200 kg order of dried BSFL showed moisture content slightly above the agreed spec (10.2% vs. the stated ≤8%), which affected shelf life calculations for our retail packaging. We raised this with the supplier immediately. They acknowledged the variance, provided a partial credit, and expedited a replacement batch within 10 days that tested at 7.6% moisture. To their credit, they also updated their QC documentation process. We've since placed a second order and quality was on spec. Cautiously optimistic moving forward.
