When conducting quality assurance of peanuts, inspectors most commonly look out for the presence of aflatoxin, which can be a cause of hazardous concern when consumed. Other minor quality-related issues for peanuts include burnt grain, inconsistent color patterns, and split or peeled peanuts.
Aflatoxin is one of the most common concerns regarding peanuts and many exporters make effort to abide by the standards of importing markets making this issue less recurrent but other minor quality-related issues such as burnt grain, inconsistent color patterns, and split or peeled peanuts are recurring more often recently.
The tolerance limit for splits on a batch of raw peanuts is 5%. For other forms or defects, it is 1%. Suppliers will usually carry responsibility for shipments exceeding the tolerance limit.
