<h3>Key Quality Focus: Sortex Purity & Morphine Alkaloid Compliance</h3>

<p>In international and European bakery markets, compliance with stringent narcotic alkaloid safety standards and immaculate visual cleanliness are vital. Our seeds undergo multi-stage aspiration, dust removal, and optical sorting to guarantee min. 99.9% purity. Each batch is laboratory-tested via LC-MS/MS to ensure strict compliance with European Commission Regulation (EU) 2021/2142 on maximum permissible limits for morphine and total opiate alkaloids (morphine + codeine).</p>
