Aflatoxin Risk Management
Aflatoxin is a naturally occurring mycotoxin that may develop in agricultural products under certain environmental conditions. In pistachios, management of aflatoxin risk is essential for regulated markets.
Risk reduction is addressed through a multi-step process:
Pre-cleaning and mechanical grading
Optical sorting to remove visually defective or discolored nuts
Lot-based laboratory testing prior to shipment
Shipment-specific documentation
Optical sorting systems identify nuts that present higher contamination risk based on visual and structural irregularities. This process improves lot consistency and reduces the probability of shipment rejection.
It is important to note that aflatoxin control is managed through monitoring and testing – not through generic claims. Laboratory verification remains the final compliance reference for regulated destinations.
Quality Control Process
Quality management is based on contract-defined parameters rather than general statements.
Before shipment, the process typically includes:
Size grading verification
Moisture confirmation
Visual inspection of shell integrity
Packaging inspection
Documentation review
Where required, third-party inspection can be coordinated prior to loading.
