Hello there,
Is it possible to wash spice and herb prior using? If no is there any other alternatives to wash off the chemicals, physical and microbial hazard?
Million thanks.

Hi,
My best suggestion is to ask for a COA on the spices you are purchasing. I hope you are buying in bulk directly. If you are purchasing from a distributor then it would be best to ask what standards do they require before purchasing spices. To me, this is a supply chain concern. You should be trying to avoid another processing step in your food safety system.

My concern will be the heavy metal or pesticide residue that left over on the spice. Spices will be like dried chilli, staranise, cinnamon, fennel. If I do have a COA from supplier, meaning that I could use it directly without washing and add into sauce production? How about it spice repacking or spice blending?
Million thanks.

Hi JCSL,
Afaik typical food processes (including drying) will not "eliminate" existing significant amounts of heavy metals/pesticides, ie need control of original raw material..
The answers to yr queries IMO essentially relate to the specification of the ingredients / finished product.
