Nuts and seeds are a category with sharp margins and sharper risks. 🥜 The good news: with the right controls, peanut and sunflower seed sourcing becomes a repeatable, profitable program.
The Three Controls That Matter
First, aflatoxin testing — every lot, from a certified lab, with the report attached to the COA. Second, origin discipline — know your growing regions and the harvest window. Third, packaging — moisture barrier bags with a desiccant strip end the caking complaints.
| Check | Frequency | Typical spec |
|---|---|---|
| Aflatoxin B1 | Every lot | EU: 2 μg/kg |
| Moisture | Every lot | 5–7% typical |
| Free fatty acids | Quarterly | Varies by grade |
| Admixture | Every lot | Per contract |
Private Label: Where OEM Shines
Sunflower seeds, roasted peanuts and snack mixes are among the easiest categories to private-label from China. OEM/ODM factories will adjust roast profile, seasoning and pack size around your brand. 🏷️ Just lock the spec in writing — “extra salty” means different things to different plants.
Buy the test, then scale. Two stable containers beat five lucky ones. ✅
