Buying from The Dehydrated Garlic & Onion Company: what to check and how we help

The Dehydrated Garlic & Onion Company lists garlic, onion and fried onion from Bhadrod near Mahuva, with little public detail. Here is what to ask before ordering.

According to its listing on TradeIndia, The Dehydrated Garlic & Onion Company is a small exporter, manufacturer and supplier of dehydrated garlic, dehydrated onion and fried onion, based at Village Bhadrod on the Bhavnagar highway near Mahuva, Gujarat, and established in 2012. We did not find a company website.

Creston & Co is not affiliated with The Dehydrated Garlic & Onion Company. This page is a buyer's guide based on public information.

What The Dehydrated Garlic & Onion Company says it makes

Its TradeIndia listing names dehydrated garlic, garlic cloves, garlic granules, dehydrated onion, onion flakes, onion powder and fried onion. It states 25 employees. The profile also says the company has "gained immense expertise in supplying & trading" these products.

Certifications are not stated. Capacity is not stated. Export markets are not stated. That does not mean they do not exist, only that the public listing does not say. A company of this size can still be a sound supplier for a buyer who wants smaller lots or a flexible specification, but the buyer has to collect the evidence that larger plants usually publish themselves.

What to verify before you order

With this little public information, every basic fact needs to come from documents rather than a listing.

  • Its listing describes both manufacturing and trading, so ask directly whether it has its own drying plant at Bhadrod and which plant produces your lot. See trader vs processor.
  • Ask what food safety certification the producing plant holds. If a certificate is offered, check its number and address in the BRCGS Directory or the FSSC 22000 register, and make sure it is not another company's certificate.
  • Check the FSSAI licence: the address, the licence category and whether it covers manufacturing.
  • Ask for the IEC and recent export references, such as shipping bills or bills of lading with names removed.
  • For US shipments, confirm FDA food facility registration for the actual producing site.
  • Ask for samples of the exact grade, then test a sealed sample from your lot for residues, ethylene oxide and salmonella. Our guide to getting samples from India explains how.
