Quality you can audit.
Traceability you can scan.
Egyptian herbs get rejected in Europe for three reasons: pesticide residues, microbiology, and foreign matter. We built the entire company around eliminating all three — and documenting the proof.
Pesticides are a farming problem. We solve them in the field.
No sterilizer removes residues — so we refuse to inherit them. Our sourcing runs pesticide-first:
Steam. Only steam.
Saturated-steam sterilization, validated to a 5-log reduction standard with surrogate-organism trials and process-authority documentation. Every production cycle records temperature, pressure and lethality (F₀) — and the log is attached to the lot passport.
No ethylene oxide. No irradiation. No exceptions — because your label shouldn't need an asterisk.
Engineered against the limits.
Multi-stage sieving and aspiration, destoning, rare-earth magnets and in-line metal detection — designed around the ESA Quality Minima extraneous-matter limits. Optical sorting joins the line on our published upgrade roadmap.
One lot. One passport.
Every lot carries a QR passport built on our in-house traceability platform: plots of origin, spray diary, sterilization cycle data, moisture & aw, and the laboratory COA — one scan, full custody chain.
Structured for EU due-diligence files, aligned with US FSMA-204 traceability record-keeping, and ready for GS1 lot-level labelling as retail programs require it.
■ WHAT'S INSIDE THE PASSPORT
Tested where the EU itself tests.
Residue and microbiology testing is performed at ISO/IEC 17025-accredited laboratories, led by Egypt's national QCAP laboratory — an internationally recognized reference facility covering hundreds of pesticide compounds and contaminants. Third-party pre-shipment inspection (SGS / Bureau Veritas) is available on request for first orders.
Audit us. Please.
The full audit pack — specs, COAs, process flow, HACCP summary, allergen & food-fraud statements — reaches your inbox within 48 hours. Facility and farm visits are welcome by appointment; remote video audits can be arranged for supplier qualification.
The questions your QA team will ask.
Do you use EtO or irradiation?
Never. The facility is steam-only, validated to a 5-log standard — and the cycle log ships with every lot.
How do you control MRLs?
Contracted plots, spray diaries, PHI enforcement and a field-sample MRL screen before purchase. Lots ship with a 17025 COA against EU Reg. 396/2005.
What documents ship with each lot?
Spec sheet, 17025 COA, sterilization log, moisture/aw record, allergen & food-fraud statements, and the QR lot passport. Full audit pack in 48 hours.
Can we audit you?
Yes — on site by appointment, or by remote video audit for qualification. Our HACCP-based system is built toward GFSI-scheme certification on a published roadmap.
