What is the supplier's internal aflatoxin screening method, and at what stage is sampling done?

An acceptable answer specifies ELISA at lot release with HPLC available on request. Composite per-lot sampling per Codex STAN 131 method. ELISA is a fast quantitative immunoassay returning results in about an hour; HPLC is the gold-standard chromatographic confirmation.

What is the supplier's RASFF aflatoxin notification history over the past 5 years?

An acceptable answer either reports zero notifications or describes specific events with documented corrective action. Cashew kernels overall recorded fewer than 10 aflatoxin notifications in RASFF across 2010–2023 — significantly fewer than pistachios, almonds, or hazelnuts.

Will the supplier accept third-party pre-shipment inspection through a buyer-designated lab?

An acceptable answer is yes, with the standard caveat that sampling follows a documented protocol. PSI cost is typically buyer-borne. Common labs: SGS, Intertek, Bureau Veritas.
