Pre-Shipment Food Inspection in Turkey
Final random inspection of food, produce and feed before it leaves the supplier, when the goods are packed and ready to load.
Pre-Shipment Inspection in practice
Pre-shipment inspection is the last point at which a buyer can stop a problem cheaply. We inspect once production is complete and packed, draw a random sample using ISO 2859-1 or your plan, check quality, quantity, packaging and labelling, and report before loading. Combined with loading supervision, it closes the gap between what was inspected and what was shipped.

What happens if a lot fails?
We report the failure with evidence the same day. You decide whether to reject, ask for re-sorting or rework, or accept with a price adjustment. If the supplier reworks the lot, we can re-inspect.
