What Is the Quality Check Process for Chilean Walnuts?

Importing countries have their own regulations and quality checks for walnuts, but in nearly all cases the following is applicable:

Walnuts must be considered safe to eat, and pesticide residues, mycotoxins, and other contaminants must be below the levels set by importing countries.

Walnuts are susceptible to mold, especially damaged kernels. Fungal infections (Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus parasiticus) could also occur. Walnuts bound for export must be free of mold and fungal infections.

The applicable certificates, as set out by importing countries, must accompany walnut exports.
