Advanced Processing & 100% Dye-Free Guarantee: Our chilli powder is processed in state-of-the-art facilities utilizing magnetic separators, metal detectors, and cool-grinding technology to prevent flavor loss. We strictly guarantee our powder is 100% free from Sudan Dyes (I-IV) and artificial colors. We also offer optional ETO-free Steam Sterilization for strict low-microbiology compliance in European (EU) and North American markets.
Complete Documentation & Lab Verification: We ensure a seamless global customs clearance process by providing a complete set of required documents. Every shipment includes Phytosanitary Certificates, Certificates of Origin, and Fumigation Certificates. Crucially, independent third-party lab inspection reports from recognized bodies (SGS, Eurofins, Intertek) verifying Aflatoxin limits, Sudan Dye absence, and SHU/ASTA levels are provided upon request.
We ensure complete traceability, lot-wise testing, and hassle-free customs clearance.
Can Shivex International customize the heat (SHU) and color (ASTA) of the Chilli Powder?
Yes. Because we source multiple raw varieties—such as Teja (high heat/low color), Guntur Sannam (medium heat/medium color), and Byadgi (low heat/high color)—we can expertly blend and mill the powder to meet your exact specifications for Scoville Heat Units (SHU) and ASTA color values, ensuring consistency for your manufacturing or retail needs.
How does Shivex ensure compliance with strict Aflatoxin and Sudan Dye regulations?
Food safety is our highest priority. We mitigate Aflatoxin risks at the farm level through strict moisture control during sun-drying and storage. During processing, rigorous QA protocols ensure zero adulteration with Sudan I-IV or other synthetic dyes. All export batches can be certified by globally accredited labs (like Eurofins or SGS) prior to shipment to guarantee EU and USFDA compliance.
What mesh sizes and sterilization options are available for bulk orders?
Our standard grinding ranges from 30 to 80 mesh, providing a fine, free-flowing powder ideal for spice blends, sauces, and culinary use. To meet the strict microbiological standards of highly regulated markets, we offer Steam Sterilized and ETO-treated Red Chilli Powder upon request.
