Multi-stage grading, laboratory testing, and internationally recognized certification behind every shipment.
In the dry fruit and nut trade, quality failures rarely show up until a container has already crossed an ocean, which is why Atlexo Trading controls quality at origin rather than relying on inspection at destination. Every lot passes through multi-stage grading, moisture and aflatoxin testing, and documented traceability checks before it is approved for loading.
Incoming lots are inspected for foreign matter, shell damage, and visual defects, and sorted by size and variety.
Samples are tested in-house and, where required, at accredited third-party laboratories against destination-market limits.
Product is mechanically and manually graded to the buyer's specified size, color, and defect-count tolerances.
Approved lots are packed under controlled humidity conditions and sealed with batch and lot identifiers for full traceability.
Moisture content and aflatoxin levels are the two variables most likely to cause rejection at a destination port, so we manage both from the point of intake.
Every lot is tested on arrival and again before packing, with limits set to each product's safe storage threshold.
Tree nuts are screened using ELISA and HPLC methods, with limits calibrated to the stricter of origin or destination market regulation.
Warehousing maintains consistent temperature and humidity to prevent moisture migration and mold risk before loading.
Desiccant and ventilation protocols are applied for long-transit shipments to prevent condensation damage.
Our in-house laboratory performs routine moisture, foreign-matter, and visual defect testing on every lot, while third-party accredited labs conduct aflatoxin, pesticide residue, and microbiological testing for shipments bound for the EU, United States, and other markets with strict import tolerances. Certificates of analysis accompany each shipment on request.
Every shipment carries a lot identifier that traces back to the originating farm or processing facility, the date of grading, and the results of every quality test performed along the way. This record allows us, and our buyers, to resolve any quality question quickly and precisely, rather than guessing which part of the supply chain was responsible.
“A certificate is only as good as the process behind it, and we test at every stage to make sure ours holds up.”
Moisture content is set per product and destination market, typically between 14 and 18 percent for raisins and 18 to 24 percent for apricots, and is confirmed by testing before packing.
Yes, a certificate of analysis covering moisture, aflatoxin, and relevant contaminant testing can be issued for any shipment on request.
All tree nut shipments undergo aflatoxin screening, with third-party laboratory verification available for markets such as the EU and US that apply strict tolerances.
Our processes align with ISO 22000 and HACCP principles, and we work with BRCGS-certified packing partners for buyers who require that certification specifically.
We investigate against the retained pre-shipment sample and lot records, and resolve valid claims through replacement, credit, or agreed compensation as set out in the sales contract.
