One order covering the tests buyers most often ask for on nutmeg: moisture, volatile oil, aflatoxins, ochratoxin A, Salmonella, E. coli and foreign matter.

Choose it when a buyer wants a general certificate of analysis on a nutmeg or mace lot, including nutmeg in shell and lime-treated nutmeg.

Often used for: nutmeg in shell, whole nutmeg, ground nutmeg, mace.

How it works

1. Tell us the product, the lot or supplier if you know it, and the destination market.
2. We reply with the laboratory, the test method, the turnaround and the full cost. We say whether each test is ISO/IEC 17025 accredited at that lab.
3. A sample is drawn from the lot and delivered to the lab.
4. The laboratory issues its report in its own name, directly to you.

Timing

Results usually take 5 to 7 working days after the sample reaches the lab. If a shipment is about to sail, order testing before loading: we cannot guarantee a certificate before a vessel departs.

What the certificate covers

A certificate of analysis reports on the sample the laboratory receives. If your buyer needs the whole lot certified, the sample must be drawn by the laboratory or an independent surveyor, which we quote separately.

Priced per sample, not per kilo, so testing a trial lot costs the same as testing a container. Nothing is charged until you approve the quote. You can also name a laboratory yourself, including one in your own country.
