How does Cambridge Commodities ensure authenticity?

We use robust supplier approval, testing protocols, and FTIR analysis to guarantee every batch meets strict standards and matches verified samples.

Authenticity at Cambridge Commodities

Ensuring authenticity and integrity is vital, especially in a landscape where evolving manufacturing techniques can make it challenging to verify product origins.

Our Approach to Authenticity

  • Supplier and Product Approval: A rigorous process that includes investigating market risks and implementing strict testing protocols.
  • Example: Testing turmeric for Sudan red dye, often used to adulterate its colour.

Testing and Verification

  • Initial Testing: Newly approved products undergo identification or assay testing, depending on the material type. If approved, a sample is analysed using Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, creating a "chemical fingerprint" saved in our database.
  • Batch Testing: Every batch is compared against the verified FTIR fingerprint. Only materials that match are approved for sale.

What This Means for You

You can trust that every product you receive is exactly what it claims to be. Our commitment to transparency and rigorous testing ensures high-quality, authentic materials, providing peace of mind and confidence in your purchase.
