Quality Assurance at Haneen International
Aflatoxin-Free Maize Testing & Premium Quality Standards
Our Uncompromising Commitment to Quality
At Haneen International, we don’t just meet industry standards—we exceed them. Every shipment undergoes rigorous aflatoxin-free maize testing and moisture content analysis to ensure only Grade A maize reaches your facility.
Our 4-Stage Quality Control Process
1. Farm-Level Inspection
Soil & Crop Analysis – Partner farms undergo seasonal testing for heavy metals and pesticides
Harvest Monitoring – Optimal harvest timing to guarantee ≤12% moisture content
Aflatoxin Prevention – Proper drying and storage protocols before transport
2. Warehouse Quality Gate
Moisture Content Analysis (8–12% range) using infrared moisture meters
Protein Testing (9–11% for yellow maize) via NIR spectroscopy
Visual Inspection – Removal of broken, discolored, or immature grains
3. Pre-Shipment Laboratory Testing
Aflatoxin Screening – HPLC testing to ensure <10 ppb (vs. 20 ppb EU limit)
Microbial Load Check – Salmonella, E. coli, and mold testing
Foreign Material Control – <1% impurities guaranteed
4. Container Loading Supervision
SGS/BV Surveyors verify:
Bag weight accuracy (50kg ±0.5%)
Container cleanliness (no cross-contamination)
Proper fumigation (if required)
