Raw, dry, threshed, sound beans. Vibrant burgundy red color and mealy texture when cooked. Through sieves, fans and other cleaning equipment, the beans are uniform in size and practically free from small, shriveled, damaged beans, splits, broken or oversized beans and material that are removed readily by the ordinary process of screening necessary to make grade.
Product characteristics:
A) to prevent spoilage including mold and mycotoxin growth during storage, must be < 18% moisture.
B) may be fragile if < 13% moisture in dry form, causing splits and cracks.
Microbiological:
Acceptable levels of pathogenic bacteria including e.Coli, salmonella, listeria and campylobacter are not likely to be exceeded since product is processed and/or cooked prior to consumption.
Pesticide residues:
Pesticides applied as per Canada's pest management regulatory agency's pest control products act. Pesticide testing as per contract specification.
Genetically modified organism:
No genetically modified or transgenic beans have been generated commercially in Canada or the united states, so all commercial dry bean classes are non-gmo.
Shelf life :
2 years if kept in cool, dry, dark storage.
