Rejection parameter and benchmark limit by spice
Each spice has one parameter that gets lots rejected more often than any other. We test every lot against the limit in the buyer's national standard, and that limit goes into the contract before we pack.
| Spice | Parameter | Benchmark limit |
|---|---|---|
| Chillies | Aflatoxin | Total ≤10 µg/kg (AFB1 ≤5 µg/kg) |
| Cumin | Ethylene oxide | ≤0.1 mg/kg |
| Cardamom | Aflatoxin | Total ≤10 µg/kg (AFB1 ≤5 µg/kg) |
| Turmeric | Lead | ≤2.0 mg/kg (FDA) |
| Ginger | Lead | ≤2.0 mg/kg (FDA reference) |
| Black pepper | Salmonella | Absent in 25 g |
| Moisture | ≤12% | |
| Seed spices | Ethylene oxide | ≤0.1 mg/kg |
| Salmonella | Absent in 25 g |
These are benchmark figures from the EU, Codex and the FDA. The legal limit depends on the destination, so we take the exact figure from the buyer's current national standard and write it into the contract.
