What Joshi Foods and Spices says it makes
Its company website lists white onion flakes (kibbled), onion powder, minced and chopped onion, dehydrated garlic flakes and garlic powder, which it describes as 80 to 120 mesh. Its FAQ also mentions fried onion. Beyond onion and garlic, it lists red chilli and turmeric powder, dehydrated ginger powder, and fenugreek, sesame and nigella seeds.
It states that it runs an FSSC 22000 production facility with Halal and Kosher certification for selected products, holds an FSSAI licence and follows HACCP based quality systems, and that certificates of analysis are available. It names its export markets as the USA, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Bangladesh, Nepal, Ukraine and the Baltic states. Street address, capacity and staff numbers are not stated.
What to verify before you order
A newer company can be a good supplier, but it has less public history to judge, so the checks lean on documents and a first lot.
- Ask for the FSSC 22000 certificate and find it in the FSSC public register. Check the certified site address and whether the scope covers dehydration, or only grinding and packing.
- The website gives no street address. Ask for the plant address and confirm it on the FSSAI licence.
- The product list covers onion, garlic, ginger, chilli, turmeric and seeds. Its site says it is a manufacturer; ask which of these it dries or grinds itself and which it buys from other units, and which plant produces your lot.
- Halal and Kosher apply to selected products only, per the site. Ask for the certificates and the product list each one covers.
- For garlic powder at 80 to 120 mesh, ask for the sieve analysis and moisture limit, and test a sealed sample.
- Ask for references or shipping records from one of the export markets it names, ideally your own.
- For the US, confirm the FDA food facility registration before you plan FSVP.
