Every consignment is tested for aflatoxin at an APEDA-recognised laboratory and shipped with APEDA's certificate of export (procedure effective 1 September 2026). EU-bound loads also carry the health certificate issued by the Export Inspection Agency. The EU checks 50% of Indian groundnut consignments at the border, so we ship to the EU limits (B1 ≤ 2 µg/kg, total ≤ 4 µg/kg) unless you specify otherwise.
