How Flour Should
Be Shipped
Flour must be stowed in gunny bags – hessian or polypropylene sacks which are transported in food-grade containers. The main risk to the condition of flour is from dampness, which will cause flour to heat and ferment. So the container should be clean, dry, well ventilated and free of odour.
All of our food-grade containers are checked regularly throughout the shipping process by our highly trained team. This ensures the moisture content is regulated and the optimum condition of the flour maintained.
