According to its website, Fine Foods Industries is a manufacturer and exporter of dehydrated onion, garlic and other vegetables in Mahuva, Gujarat, a town it describes as being in India's second largest onion producing belt.

What Fine Foods Industries says it makes
Its company website lists dehydrated white onion, red onion and garlic, other dehydrated vegetables, and toasted and fried onion, in flakes, minced, granule, chopped and powder forms. It says it manages the chain from raw material procurement to finished product and claims more than 25 years of experience in the industry.
Its listing on Nutrada gives 2003 as the founding year and says raw onion and garlic are bought directly from farmers within about 200 km of the unit. The same listing names BRC, FSSC 22000, ISO 22000, FDA, HACCP and FSSAI, and gives Germany, the Netherlands, Poland, the USA and Russia as export destinations. It states the products are not organic. Capacity is not stated on either source, and the website shows a certificate image without naming the bodies in text.
What to verify before you order
Fine Foods Industries lists several overlapping food safety schemes. That is not unusual, but each one should be checked on its own register, because they are run by different owners and expire on different dates.
- BRCGS: ask for the certificate number and site code, then check grade and expiry in the BRCGS directory.
- FSSC 22000: ask for the certificate and confirm it in the FSSC 22000 public register. If both BRCGS and FSSC 22000 are current, ask which one your customer's auditor should rely on.
- "FDA" on a listing usually means US FDA food facility registration, which is not a certificate or an approval. Ask for the registration number and confirm the plant is not on an FDA import alert.
- Confirm the plant address on the FSSAI licence matches the Mahuva unit you are told about.
- Ask how the 200 km farm sourcing is recorded: farmer or lot records help with pesticide traceability, which matters for EU and US buyers.
- Request samples of your exact cut and colour, and test them at an independent NABL-accredited lab for moisture, microbiology, pesticide residues and ethylene oxide.
- If you are buying toasted or fried onion, agree a separate specification for those lines.
