Food safety, from cooperative to pouch
More rigorous than what most local porridge producers do.
Peanut and sorghum from Rwandan smallholders carry a known aflatoxin risk. A maternal-child product cannot afford to fail here. This is what we do — every batch, every supplier, every pouch.
At the cooperative
Drying on raised platforms
Peanut and sorghum are dried on raised platforms — never on bare ground. Moisture below 13% verified at delivery. Mouldy or shrivelled grain is sorted out manually before any lot leaves the cooperative.
On receipt at our co-packer
Moisture meter on receiving
Every incoming lot is checked with a digital moisture meter, visually inspected, and sieved. Lots that fail any of these checks do not enter the production line.
At a partner accredited lab
Lab test, every batch
Every production batch is tested for total aflatoxin (B1+B2+G1+G2). Results are recorded in a batch register and tied to the milling date and batch code printed on each pouch.
In every cooperative agreement
Contractual rejection clause
Every supply contract carries a rejection clause for non-compliant lots. Rejected stock is not paid for and is not used. This is what makes the protocol enforceable, not just aspirational.

What's printed on every pouch
Milling date, batch code, and an aflatoxin test reference. Trace any pouch back to its production batch and lab certificate.
