First 150 kg order of dried crickets for protein isolate extraction research showed moisture at 7.9% in one of six bags, marginally above the ≤7% specification. This created minor complications for our downstream processing yield calculations. I raised the issue with their team and received a response within four hours. They issued a partial replacement shipment at no charge and provided an updated process control report confirming corrective action on drying calibration. Subsequent 300 kg order was fully compliant. Communication and resolution were handled professionally.
