Initial shipment had moisture deviation — resolved promptly on second order
Our first 100 kg order showed moisture content at 9.1% on independent testing, slightly above the stated ≤8% spec, which created shelf-life concerns for our packaging configuration. We raised this with the team and received a detailed corrective action report referencing their tray-drying protocol at 60–65°C. The replacement 100 kg shipment tested at 7.4% moisture and met all other specs including 62% crude protein and chitin at 5.5%. Response time was professional and the issue appears resolved. Cautiously proceeding with a 200 kg follow-up order.
