Comprehensive Testing and Rigorous Standards

Quality control at Joseph Flach & Sons begins long before any product reaches your door. We employ dedicated testing and internal procedures that include:

– Source Verification: We build and sustain long-term, trust-based partnerships with our suppliers, ensuring that the majority of our materials come from sources certified by EMAS or aligned with SEDEX or the ETI code. Every batch we receive is thoroughly inspected to ensure it adheres to our in-house guidelines.

– Batch Testing: Each product undergoes a series of quality checks, including testing for moisture content, and contamination. Whether it’s whole rose hips or cut dried nettle root, we ensure that only the finest materials pass through our doors.

– Traceability: We meticulously record every batch of material and ensure that we and our suppliers can trace our batches of material back down the supply chain and indeed we test that batch traceability regularly as part of our BRC accreditation. This level of transparency ensures that our customers can trust the source and quality of the products they receive.

Careful Handling and Packaging

Once products have passed all initial inspections, we take great care in handling and storing them. Our dedicated team ensures that every herb, berry, or root is stored and handled under optimal conditions, preserving its natural potency and purity.

– Temperature-Monitored Ambient Storage: Herbs and botanicals are sensitive to environmental conditions. We store our products in controlled environments to maintain their quality and prevent degradation over time.

– Eco-Friendly Packaging: In line with our commitment to sustainability, we use eco-friendly packaging where possible that protects the product while minimizing our environmental footprint.
