Contract Processing and Packaging Solutions for Nut Products
Nuts, indispensable healthy snacks and nutritious meals, are attracting significant consumer interest today. Offered in a wide range from almonds to hazelnuts, walnuts to cashews, these products are rich in vitamins and minerals in addition to providing energy. Success in the nut industry is directly related to the freshness of the products, their proper processing, roasting, and hygienic packaging.
At Ontad, we offer your brand’s nut products through a contract processing and packaging (contract manufacturing) model, adhering to the highest quality and hygiene standards. With our modern facilities, advanced technology equipment, and expert team, we prepare reliable and delicious nuts for your brand to take its place on the shelves.
The Ontad Difference in Nut Processing and Packaging
Every stage of a nut’s journey from field to table requires meticulous control. Ontad’s processing and packaging process stands out with its unyielding commitment to quality:
- Raw Material Selection and Pre-processing: The highest quality raw nuts sourced from our supplier network are first purified from foreign materials and sorted by quality upon arrival at our facility.
- Advanced Technology Processing and Roasting: Nuts are roasted in our modern roasting ovens at ideal temperatures and durations according to the unique characteristics of each variety. This process optimally brings out the natural aroma and crispness of the products. Optionally, salting or flavoring with different spices can also be done.
- Laboratory Analyses and Quality Control: Every batch of production undergoes comprehensive analyses in our advanced laboratory:
- Moisture Content Measurement: The moisture content, critical for the shelf life of nuts, is continuously monitored with precise instruments.
- Peroxide Value Analysis: The peroxide value, indicating degradation in oilseeds, is regularly measured to guarantee the freshness and quality of the products.
- Aflatoxin Analysis: Mycotoxins such as aflatoxin, which may pose a risk to human health, are meticulously analyzed using advanced laboratory techniques.
- Microbiological Analyses: Comprehensive tests are applied to ensure that the products do not contain any pathogens or spoilage microorganisms.
- Hygienic Processing and Packaging Conditions: Our facilities operate in full compliance with international food safety and ethical trade certifications such as BRCGS, IFS, KOSHER, HALAL, and SEDEX. Processing and packaging areas are designed to prevent cross-contamination and extend the product’s shelf life. All our personnel receive regular training on hygiene rules.
- Flexible Packaging Solutions: We deliver your products packaged in your desired weight (from 50 gr to bulk packaging) and packaging type (doypack, vacuum packaging, resealable bags, tin cans, etc.).
