Why Spice Fumigation Services?

5 Reasons to Choose Western Fumigation for Spice Fumigation

  1. Safety & Security: Spices, as a food product, are highly susceptible to pests during import, storage, and transit due to their strong smell. And they may not have been fumigated at origin or have attracted pests while in transit. Before entering any warehouse, Western can fumigate the spices to remove unwanted pests before they are brought to your warehouse and stored.
  2. Traditional & Organic: Western Fumigation offers traditional fumigation methods, but we also offer organic fumigation options. Our CO2 fumigant not only keeps your spices pest-free, but it will also maintain your spices’ organic certification. Not everyone can offer both – Western Fumigation can.
  3. Regulations & Standards: Many spices must comply with international phytosanitary regulations, US Food Safety Modernization Act (both Preventive Controls Rule and Foreign Supplier Verification), and USDA standards designed to prevent the introduction of invasive species. Without fumigating your spices, they could be delayed or even rejected, leading to penalties, detention and demurrage fees, re-exporting, and loss of revenue.
  4. Commodity & Container: Western Fumigation knows it’s not just about the spices. The containers the spices are shipping in or the storage methods being used also need to be kept free of pests. When you have a team that thinks holistically, like Western Fumigation, then you’re fully covered.
  5. Experience & Expertise: Our in-house Ph.D. Board-Certified Entomologist ensures your spices are compliant and ready to be shipped all over the country. In addition, we have on staff resources in food safety including PCQI, SQF Advanced Practitioners, and FSVP auditors. Pair that expertise with almost a century of experience, and you know you’ve chosen the right company for your spice fumigation needs.
