Buying from Bhalala Foods Pvt Ltd: what to check and how we help

Bhalala Foods lists itself as a Mahuva maker of dehydrated onion and garlic with BRC, Halal and Kosher. Here is what to verify before ordering and how we can help.

· 3 min read · Creston & Co

According to its listing on the B2USA directory, Bhalala Foods Pvt Ltd is a manufacturer and exporter of dried vegetables based in Mahuva, Gujarat, focused on dehydrated onion and garlic. We found no company website, so the directory profile is the main public source.

Creston & Co is not affiliated with Bhalala Foods Pvt Ltd. This page is a buyer's guide based on public information.

What Bhalala Foods says it makes

Its B2USA listing says it makes dehydrated onion as kibbled or flakes, chopped (3 to 5 mm), minced (1 to 3 mm), granules (0.5 to 1 mm) and powder, and dehydrated garlic as cloves or flakes, minced, granules and powder. The listing describes the business type as manufacturer and calls the company one of the pioneer dried vegetable makers in the area.

On the company's own claims:

  • Location: Mahuva, Gujarat. A full plant address is not stated.
  • Founding year: the profile text says it has served the food industry since 1995, while a badge on the same page reads "Since 2025". The two do not match.
  • Certifications: it states that its production facility is certified for BRC, Halal and Kosher.
  • Staff and exports: the listing gives 50 to 100 employees and says about 60% of sales are exports, with Asia and Eastern and Western Europe named as main markets.
  • Capacity: not stated.

What to verify before you order

The directory itself marks the profile as unverified, so treat every point above as a claim to confirm, not a fact. For this company, the checks we would run first are:

  • The plant address. Ask for the FSSAI manufacturing licence and confirm the premises on the FoSCoS portal, since the listing gives a town but no street address.
  • The founding date. Ask for the certificate of incorporation or the company's record on the MCA portal to settle the 1995 versus 2025 question.
  • The BRC claim. Ask for the BRCGS site code and certificate, then look it up in the BRCGS Directory. Note the grade, the scope (which products and processes) and the expiry date.
  • Halal and Kosher. Ask which certifying body issued each certificate and check it with that body, because both have many issuers.
  • Which forms are made in house. Ask whether powder and granules are milled on site from the plant's own flakes, or bought in.
  • If you import into the US, ask for the FDA food facility registration number and confirm it with your customs broker.
  • A pre-shipment sample from the actual lot, tested at an NABL-accredited lab for moisture, microbiology, pesticides and ethylene oxide.

How we help if you want to buy from Bhalala Foods

We can approach Bhalala Foods on your behalf, visit the plant in Mahuva and audit it against what the listing says, collect sealed samples, test them at an NABL-accredited lab, check each certificate at its source, negotiate terms, supervise loading and check the export documents. You pay one written fee agreed in advance, and you buy directly from the company.

If the plant turns out not to be the right fit for your volume or specification, we compare it with other units in the Mahuva cluster. See our pages on dehydrated onion and dehydrated garlic, the list of other manufacturers, and our Mahuva buyer's guide.
