Quality Control for Bulk Argan Oil
Quality control for bulk argan oil is a chain of checks, from kernels to the filled drum. Here is the checklist we recommend buyers hold any supplier to, and how our own checks are confirmed for your order.
Quality checkpoints in a bulk argan oil supply chain
- 01
Raw material

- 03
Lot testing
Testing of the finished lot against the specification for the grade.
- 04
Packing
Clean, compatible containers, controlled headspace and correct lot labeling.
- 05
Pre-shipment
