First 600kg order arrived with moisture readings of 9.2% on two tested samples — marginally above the ≤8% specification. I raised the issue with their QA team, who acknowledged the deviation, provided a corrected CoA for the affected sub-batch, and issued a partial credit within 5 business days. The replacement allocation in our next order was tested at 7.4% moisture. I appreciate that they handled the complaint without pushback. Protein and microbiological specs were fine throughout. Cautiously optimistic and will continue trialing before committing to larger volumes.
