Poppy seed is the tiny, kidney-shaped seed of the opium poppy plant, botanically known as Papaver somniferum. In culinary contexts, it is prized for its nutty flavor and high oil content.

Yes, RASFF has issued alerts for Indian poppy seeds, mainly for pesticide residues like chlorpyrifos and cadmium contamination. In 2023, several alerts were raised for exceedances. To mitigate, Botanika Bharat LLP implements strict supplier vetting and pre-shipment testing to ensure compliance with EU MRLs, reducing the risk of border rejections.
Common residues include chlorpyrifos, glyphosate, and cadmium. Chlorpyrifos is frequently detected above the EU MRL of 0.01 mg/kg. Cadmium, a heavy metal, often exceeds 0.3 mg/kg.

The EU MRL for cadmium in poppy seeds is 0.3 mg/kg under Regulation (EC) 396/2005. Cadmium is a heavy metal that can accumulate in soil and transfer to seeds.

The no-return policy is standard in B2B agro exports to prevent fraud and logistical challenges. Once goods are shipped, they are subject to customs and cannot be easily returned. We mitigate risks by providing samples, third-party inspection, and detailed specs. This ensures buyers receive exactly what they ordered.
If damage occurs in transit, buyers should file a claim with the shipping line or insurance company. We provide all necessary documents to support the claim. Our no-return policy applies to quality issues, not transit damage. We recommend cargo insurance for all shipments to protect against such risks.
Orders cannot be cancelled after confirmation, as we immediately initiate procurement and processing. Cancellation would result in significant losses.
