Our first 500 kg order of dried mealworms for bird feed blends showed roughly 8% of larvae outside the stated 20–28 mm sieve-grade specification. We raised the issue with the quality team, who responded within 24 hours, provided a full QC re-inspection report referencing ISO 22000 batch records, and issued a partial credit plus priority re-shipment of a corrected 200 kg top-up. The replacement batch was fully within spec. Communication throughout was professional. We've since placed a second order and quality has been consistent. Issue appears resolved.
