Our first 500 kg shipment of 200-mesh cricket powder showed some off-spec coarser particles that caused minor flow issues in our automated batching system. We flagged this with the supplier immediately. To their credit, they investigated the milling run, acknowledged the QC deviation, and arranged a partial replacement shipment within 10 days at no additional cost. The replacement batch tested correctly and has performed well in three subsequent production runs. Crude protein and moisture on both batches were within spec. Upgraded our rating from the initial concern — issue was handled professionally and the product is now reliable.
