Our first 700 kg order arrived with a discrepancy between the bag label fat content (listed as 15%) and the COA (showing 17.3% crude fat). For aquaculture diet formulation, that 2.3% variance matters for our energy calculations. I flagged it immediately and the supplier responded within 4 hours, confirmed it was a pre-printed label batch error, issued a corrected COA, and offered a partial credit. The actual product quality was fine — protein at 62.6%, digestibility tested at 85.4% in-house. The issue was handled professionally and they implemented a label QC check for subsequent orders. Second shipment was clean.
