First 100kg order of freeze-dried mealworms arrived with moisture content at 6.8% on two tested bags, exceeding the ≤5% specification. This caused minor clumping in our retail 50g packs. I raised the issue with their QC team and provided our lab report. They acknowledged the deviation, attributed it to a sealing fault in that production lot, and expedited a replacement 80kg consignment at no charge within 14 days. The replacement batch tested at 4.1% moisture — fully compliant. Three stars reflects the initial issue honestly; the after-sales response was genuinely professional and I am continuing as a customer.
