Initial shipment had colour inconsistency — issue resolved by second order
Our first 50 kg order of whole dried grasshoppers for fishing bait use showed noticeable colour variation between bags — roughly 20% of product appeared darker than the sample, suggesting slight over-drying in part of the batch. I flagged this with the support team, who investigated the drying temperature logs and confirmed a calibration issue on one dryer unit since corrected. They offered a partial credit, which we applied to a second 80 kg order. The replacement batch was visually uniform and moisture content came in at 7.1%. Would order again cautiously.
