QUALITY ASSURANCE & FOOD SAFETY COMPLIANCE

Zero-Risk Agri-Sourcing via TurkExperts Global Export Group Protocols

In the 2026 global food market, traceability and chemical safety are the cornerstones of consumer trust. TurkHarvest operates under a stringent "Field-to-Port" quality control system that ensures every commodity shipment meets international food safety benchmarks and brand-specific ESG requirements. By centralizing our auditing through the TurkExperts network, we provide an uncompromised safety record for every harvest cycle.

GLOBAL FOOD SAFETY CERTIFICATIONS

Our processing facilities and agricultural clusters undergo rigorous annual audits to maintain the certifications required by the most demanding global retailers and industrial manufacturers.

• GlobalGAP: Ensuring that our agricultural products are grown with minimized environmental impact, reduced chemical use, and a responsible approach to worker health and safety.

• ISO 22000 & BRCGS: Implementation of world-class Food Safety Management Systems (FSMS) and Global Standards for Food Safety to ensure hazard control and process integrity.

• Halal & Kosher Compliance: Verified production lines meeting the dietary and religious requirements of global markets in the Middle East, SE Asia, and beyond.

• Organic Certification (EU & NOP): Full traceability for certified organic lines, ensuring zero synthetic pesticides or fertilizers from soil to shelf.

2026 PESTICIDE & CONTAMINANT CONTROL

We recognize that chemical compliance is the primary barrier in global agri-trade. TurkHarvest utilizes advanced laboratory testing to guarantee:

• MRL Compliance: Ensuring Maximum Residue Limits (MRLs) for pesticides are strictly below the thresholds defined by the 2026 EU and US FDA regulations.

• Mycotoxin Screening: Systematic testing for Aflatoxin (B1, B2, G1, G2) and Ochratoxin A, particularly in our nut and dried fruit categories.

• GMO-Free Assurance: 100% verification of Turkish origin crops, naturally free from genetically modified organisms and cross-contamination.

THE TURKHARVEST QC PROTOCOL: 4-STAGE VERIFICATION

To eliminate the risk of rejection at destination ports, every contract undergoes our proprietary safety inspection:

1. Pre-Harvest Soil & Water Audit: Monitoring environmental factors and chemical inputs before the crop is harvested.

2. Raw Material Grading: Calibration and sensory analysis upon arrival at the processing facility.

3. In-Line Optical Sorting: Utilization of laser and X-ray technology to remove foreign materials, mold, or discolored units.

4. Final Lab Analysis: Issuance of a formal Certificate of Analysis (COA) for every batch before container sealing.

DOCUMENTATION & TRANSPARENCY

Operating within the Turkey-EU trade framework, we automate the generation of critical phytosanitary and trade documentation:

• Phytosanitary Certificates: Issued by the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry of the Republic of Türkiye.

• Analysis Certificates (COA): Detailed reports on moisture, microbiological counts, and purity levels.

• Full Batch Traceability: Digital records allowing you to track your shipment back to the specific agricultural cluster and harvest date.

VERIFY OUR COMPLIANCE

Technical audits and digital copies of our current certifications are available for review by authorized procurement departments. We facilitate third-party laboratory testing (Eurofins, SGS, Intertek) to align with your specific internal quality protocols.
