Our first 200 kg order showed noticeable colour inconsistency between bags — some batches appeared darker than our reference sample, raising concern about thermal processing uniformity. We raised this with the technical team, who explained it related to a dryer calibration adjustment during that production run. They provided a full replacement lot at no charge within 12 days, and the second shipment was visually and analytically consistent: protein 65.4%, moisture 4.7%, fat 7.5%. Communication throughout was professional. We have since placed a 400 kg follow-up order with confidence.
