Initial moisture issue flagged and resolved — product now meeting spec
Our first 50 kg shipment arrived with moisture content at 9.2%, slightly above the ≤8% specification stated in the product listing. This raised a concern for our manufacturing process, as we blend with hygroscopic excipients. We flagged this immediately and the supplier responded within one business day, issued a replacement batch with moisture at 7.4% confirmed by COA, and covered the return logistics. The replacement batch also came with an updated third-party lab report. Protein content on both batches was consistent at 64.5%. The issue resolution was handled professionally and our production timeline was not significantly impacted. Will continue ordering with this caveat noted.
