The World's Most Rigorous Food Purity Benchmarks
The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) enforces strict Maximum Residue Limits (MRLs) for imported agro-commodities. When shipping into Germany, Netherlands, France, or the UK, every container lot must be backed by accredited laboratory Certificate of Analysis (COA) documentation.
Key Laboratory Quality Parameters
- Aflatoxin B1 & Total Aflatoxins: Must test below < 2.0 ppb (parts per billion). Bihari Makhana achieves zero detectable levels through rapid climate-controlled solar drying.
- Heavy Metal Screening: ICP-MS testing verifying absence of lead, cadmium, arsenic, and mercury in alluvial wetland sediment.
- Moisture Content Calibration: Certified strictly below 7.5% moisture to eliminate any microbial or fungal proliferation during 35-day maritime transit.
