What Kings Dehydrated Foods says it makes
Its company website gives the address as Plot No 180, Amin House, Nutannagar, Mahuva, in Bhavnagar district. The product list it shows is:
- Onion: fried onion, kibbled, flakes, red onion flakes, toasted onion and onion powder.
- Garlic: garlic flakes, garlic powder and fried garlic flakes.
- Other lines: raw and roasted peanuts and peanut butter. The profile text also mentions ginger powder, which is not in the product menu.
- Staff: it states 101 to 500 people.
- Registrations: it shows a GST number, an Import Export Code and a company CIN, plus IndiaMART TrustSEAL and Verified Exporter badges.
- Certifications: no food safety certificate such as BRCGS, FSSC 22000, ISO 22000, Halal or Kosher is named. Capacity and export markets are not stated.
What to verify before you order
A TrustSEAL badge confirms company documents, not the plant or the lot. The checks that matter most here follow from the product mix.
- Ask which food safety certificate the plant holds, if any, and get the certificate number. Check BRCGS in the BRCGS directory and FSSC 22000 in the FSSC register. If your customer requires one and the plant has none, you need to know before sampling.
- Fried onion is a different product from dried onion. Ask which oil is used, how often it is changed, and for peroxide value, free fatty acid and moisture on each lot. Agree the shelf life and packing gas or liner in writing.
- The same company lists peanuts and peanut butter. Ask whether they are handled on the same site or line as onion, and how allergen cross-contact is controlled and labelled.
- Confirm the plant address on the FSSAI licence matches Nutannagar, and ask whether fried and dried products come from the same plant.
- For the US, ask for the FDA food facility registration number.
- Test sealed samples for microbiology, pesticide residues and ethylene oxide at an independent lab.
