Initial Moisture Variance Flagged — Resolved Promptly by Supplier
Our first 20kg order of dried calci worms showed moisture at 9.1% on arrival — slightly above the ≤8% specification — which raised concerns for our shrimp feed application. We reported this immediately and the supplier's QA team responded within 6 hours, issued a replacement 5kg sample batch at no charge, and provided updated storage and transit protocol documentation. The replacement tested at 7.6% moisture. Protein and calcium specs on both batches were fully on target. Issue appears to have been transit humidity exposure rather than a production fault. Cautiously optimistic for our next order.
