Quality — GADAG EXPORTS PVT. LTD.

Dense full-frame texture of blanched peanut kernels

Standards

Uncompromising standards for agro commodities — certified, controlled and laboratory-verified before a container is sealed.

Certification standards

What we hold, and what it means.

GADAG EXPORTS PVT. LTD. is an ISO 22000 and HACCP certified company, and a member organisation of ISO, MSME, GLOBALG.A.P., APEDA, IOPEPC, FSSAI and FIEO.

Quality assurance is the key to longevity for any business. Our competitive edge comes from staying on par with the highest industry standards — which is the reason clients, domestic and international, come back. Certification is not the achievement; it is the audit trail that lets a buyer verify the achievement without visiting the plant.

Certified systems

ISO 22000 for food safety management and HACCP for hazard control, backed by an FSSAI licence and GLOBALG.A.P. assurance at farm level.

Controls on the line

Pre-cleaning, de-stoning, gravity separation, colour sorting and metal detection. Each stage removes one named class of defect and is documented.

Pre-shipment analysis

Physical, chemical and microbiological testing in authorised laboratories. A consignment either clears the report or it does not ship.

Inside the plant
