Our third order of defatted BSFL meal arrived with moisture at 9.1% DM — slightly above the stated <8% specification. We flagged this immediately. The supplier responded within 4 hours, issued a partial credit, and dispatched a replacement partial lot within 10 days. The root cause (a packaging seal failure during transit) was identified and corrected. All subsequent batches have tested at 6.8–7.4% moisture. I've moved this back to a 3-star rating rather than lower because the resolution was genuinely fast and professional. Monitoring closely but cautiously optimistic.
