The Four-Stage Validation Protocol

Charlotte maintains systematic gate checks at every phase of the value chain. No raw crop enters manufacturing, nor does any pallet leave customs staging, without physical verification.

01 Ingestion

Agricultural Screening

Direct procurement from certified partner farms in Fergana and Samarkand. Multi-residue pesticide tests, moisture calibration (<12%), and heavy metal ICP-MS screening.

Parameter Lead <0.05 mg/kg, Cadmium <0.02 mg/kg
02 Cleanroom

Atmospheric Control

Processing occurs inside temperature-stabilized (18°C–20°C) rooms with air scrubbing. Workers follow sterile gowning protocols with automated foot-baths and air showers.

Parameter Positive Pressure + HEPA 99.97%
03 In-Line

Optical & Metal Analysis

High-speed visual infrared sorters extract broken seeds and foreign matters. Dual-frequency metal detectors reject ferrous, non-ferrous, and stainless steel anomalies down to 0.8mm.

Parameter Fe 0.6mm / Non-Fe 0.8mm / SS 1.0mm
04 Shipment

SGS Sealed Dossier

Prior to maritime container or refrigerated TIR trailer sealing, random composite samples are sealed and sent to accredited labs for Salmonella, E. Coli, and aflatoxin certificates.

Parameter Bilingual COA per individual lot
