What Ali Foods says it makes
The company website and its Nutrada listing together describe the following:
- Onion: kibbled, chopped, minced, granules and powder, in white, red and pink, plus fried onion and toasted kibbled onion.
- Garlic: cloves, minced, granules and powder.
- Capacity: one plant with two dryers and 18 tonnes a day, while another passage on the website says production has risen to 30 MT a day.
- Quality equipment: it states it has an in-house laboratory, metal detectors, a moisture detection system, a new Sortex machine and magnet sorting.
- Certifications: the website names BRC, FSSAI, the Spices Board and APEDA, and says an SGS quality certificate is available on request. Nutrada adds FDA.
- Trade fairs: it lists Anuga 2019, Anuga 2021 and Fi Brazil 2019. Staff of 51 to 200 per Nutrada. Export countries are not stated.
What to verify before you order
- Capacity is given as 18 and as 30 tonnes a day. Ask for the current figure and how much is free for new orders in your shipment month.
- Ask for the BRCGS certificate number and grade, then check it in the BRCGS directory. Confirm that the certified site is the Vadli plant.
- FDA appears on Nutrada but not on the website. For the US, ask for the food facility registration number.
- Because of the Kirti Foods link, ask which legal entity will sign the contract, which plant produces your lot, and whether the FSSAI licence address matches it.
- The website mentions fumigation in storage. Ask which fumigant is used. Ethylene oxide is not permitted in EU food, so ask for an ETO and 2-chloroethanol result on your lot if you sell there.
- An in-house lab is useful, but your release decision should rest on an independent test of a sealed sample.

For the EU risk, see why ETO treatment leads to EU rejections. If Ali Foods does not suit you, we compare it with other manufacturers around Mahuva, and our Mahuva buyer's guide explains how a plant visit runs.
