Certified Saffron Producer
IFS FOOD Version 7 – FSSC 22000 - Organic Certificate
At Sativus Group the saffron stigmas are picked by hand from each individual flower to preserve their delicate quality. The humidity level should be less than 8% after our drying process. During this process, the stigmas lose most of their weight; therefore we need more than 100.000-150.000 flowers to produce a single kilo of saffron.
After the collection, the saffron is tested in our accredited laboratory in Iran before being packed and shipped. We have implemented FSMS requirements that are in line with the following standards:
-
– Food Safety System Certification (FSSC) 2200
