Initial moisture issue flagged — resolved quickly with replacement
Our first 75 kg order of dried mealworms came in with moisture content testing at 9.1%, slightly above the stated ≤8% specification. This was a concern for shelf-life in our retail packaging format. I contacted the support team and they responded within a few hours, acknowledged the variance, and shipped a replacement batch within 3 business days that tested at 7.6% — fully within spec. The corrected batch also included updated COA documentation. Issue was handled professionally. We have since placed a second order and quality has been consistent.
