FAQ

Questions about black pepper

Still have questions?

Ask an engineer directly. No sales sequence.

Do you steam sterilise?

On request, and most EU buyers take it. Steam treatment reduces microbial load without irradiation, at a small premium and roughly four extra days of lead time. We will tell you whether your destination market actually requires it.

Can you meet EU pesticide MRLs?

Yes, and we test per lot rather than per shipment. Residue results attach to the lot code so a failing result bounds to a few tonnes rather than the container.
