In the competitive world of global walnut trade, quality is the ultimate currency. Buyers from Europe, the Middle East, and Asia demand not only rich flavor and appearance but also scientifically verified safety and purity. At Tamila Agrifood, we’ve built a comprehensive quality assurance and laboratory testing system that ensures every shipment of Iranian walnuts meets — and often exceeds — international standards.

Our commitment to excellence and transparency has made Tamila Agrifood a trusted supplier for importers seeking reliability, consistency, and compliance.

1. The Importance of Quality Control in Walnut Export

Quality control isn’t just a formality — it’s the foundation of sustainable export relationships.

Iran’s walnuts are globally renowned for their high oil content, sweet flavor, and dense nutritional value, but improper handling or contamination can quickly degrade quality.

That’s why our process begins right from the orchard level, ensuring that:

•    Only healthy and mature nuts are harvested.

•    Shells are cleaned and dried under hygienic, temperature-controlled environments.

•    Moisture levels are closely monitored to prevent mold growth and rancidity.

From there, every step — from sorting and grading to packaging and shipment — is verified under Tamila Agrifood’s internal QC protocols.

2. Laboratory Testing: Science Behind the Quality

To guarantee compliance with the EU, GCC, and African import standards, our walnuts undergo a series of laboratory analyses. These tests are performed in ISO/IEC 17025-certified labs, ensuring accuracy and traceability.

Key laboratory tests include:

•    Aflatoxin Detection: Using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) to ensure aflatoxin levels remain below 4 ppb, in line with EU standards.

•    Moisture & Oil Content: Measured using infrared spectrometry to confirm freshness and prevent spoilage.

•    Microbiological Testing: Detecting pathogens such as E. coli, Salmonella, and yeast/mold counts.

•    Pesticide Residue Analysis: Conducted according to Codex Alimentarius and EU Regulation 396/2005 limits.

•    Physical Integrity Tests: Ensuring kernel size uniformity, shell-free appearance, and absence of foreign material.

This multi-level testing guarantees that every batch is not only visually premium but also nutritionally safe and compliant with export laws.

3. International Certifications & Traceability

Tamila Agrifood operates under a strict Integrated Food Safety Management System, combining ISO 22000, HACCP, and Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP).

Every shipment is backed by certification and traceability documentation, including:

•    ISO 9001:2015 (Quality Management)

•    HACCP (Hazard Analysis & Critical Control Points)

•    Halal & Organic Certificates (for GCC and EU buyers)

•    Phytosanitary & Health Certificates (issued by Iran’s Ministry of Agriculture)

Each lot has a unique tracking code, allowing importers to trace the product back to its origin orchard and processing batch, an essential feature for brands seeking transparency and accountability.

4. Advanced Sorting & Grading Technology

After lab testing, the walnuts are processed using laser color sorters, X-ray scanners, and AI-powered grading systems that detect even the slightest defects or shell residues.

Our grading process classifies kernels into Light, Light Amber, and Amber categories, and further into halves, quarters, and broken grades. This automated yet carefully supervised process ensures uniformity, visual appeal, and consistency across shipments.

5. Packaging Integrity & Shelf-Life Control

Even the best walnuts can lose their quality without proper packaging.

To preserve natural oils and aroma, Tamila Agrifood uses:

•    Vacuum-sealed or nitrogen-flushed packs for retail-grade walnuts.

•    Food-grade PP or jute bags with moisture barriers for bulk exports.

•    Cold-chain containers when required for long-distance or tropical destinations.

Our storage facilities maintain a temperature between 0–5°C, extending shelf life and ensuring that the walnuts arrive as fresh as the day they were packed.

6. Third-Party Inspections & Buyer Confidence

To reinforce trust, Tamila Agrifood regularly cooperates with third-party inspection agencies such as SGS, Bureau Veritas, and Cotecna.

Buyers can request pre-shipment inspection (PSI) or loading supervision to verify:

•    Product conformity

•    Packaging integrity

•    Weight accuracy

•    Clean container condition

This added layer of transparency ensures smooth customs clearance and full buyer satisfaction.

7. Continuous Improvement Through R&D

Our commitment to quality doesn’t stop at compliance, it evolves with science.

Tamila Agrifood’s R&D department works closely with agricultural universities and local farmers to:

•    Develop aflatoxin-resistant walnut varieties.

•    Improve post-harvest drying techniques.

•    Implement eco-friendly pest management to meet organic certification standards.

This focus on innovation helps us deliver walnuts that not only meet current standards but also anticipate future global requirements.
