Our Suppliers have developed Internal Traceability Standards that are accepted by domestic and international customers. These standards are uniquely positioned to develop and deliver traceability for efficient trace back and track forward from each point in a supply chain.
CONTROL MEASURES: How to ensure identification and traceability of incoming materials and products is achieved.
Our Traceability Programs enhance supply chain visibility and help product consistency:
We could arrange the following tests to assure the quality:
The best Chinese Herbs in Australia and online. We pride ourselves on the purest herbs with the highest quality and potency. Traditional Chinese Medicine TCM
Growing: - to meet your needs
We pride ourselves in sourcing eco-authentic specimens with incredible potency. Our herbs come from GAP (good agricultural practices) certified farms and ethically wildcrafted sources.
Testing: - most comprehensive
Cell structure comparisons. T.L.C. and active ingredient matching ensure the correct species. Every herb, every time
Storing: - for maximum potency
Storing conditions greatly affect an herb's active ingredients. We purchase in small batches to avoid herbs sitting on the shelf for extended periods.
