Why Fumigation Services for Coffee Beans?
So many people rely on that first (and second and third) cup of coffee for the pick me up they need in the morning. They don’t think about what needs to happen to the beans to make sure that coffee is safe to drink. But we do. Western Fumigation knows the Indian meal moths and other pests that green coffee can be susceptible to. Not just within the beans – but in the storage warehouse or roasting facility. Western Fumigation can help with all of it, including before the beans even enter your facility.
5 Reasons to Choose Western Fumigation for Coffee Fumigation
Safety & Security: Coffee beans are often not treated before entering your facility so not only could they already have pests, but they could also have attracted some while in transit. Pre-roasted green coffee, as a food product, is highly susceptible to pests during growing, storage, and transit. Before entering any warehouse, Western can fumigate the green beans to eliminate unwanted pests before they are brought to your warehouse and infest other items.
Traditional & Organic: Western Fumigation offers traditional ProFUME® fumigation methods, but we also offer organic fumigation options. Our IGICO2 fumigant not only keeps your coffee beans pest-free, but it will also maintain its organic certification. Not everyone can offer both. Western Fumigation can.
Regulations & Standards: Coffee beans are subject to both 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 beans, they could be delayed or even rejected, leading to penalties, detention and demurrage fees, re-exporting, and loss of revenue.
Commodity & Container: Western Fumigation knows it’s not just about the beans. The containers they 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.
