Roasted groundnut packing in Kenya
Roast and pack groundnuts in a consistent flavour and net weight.
A CONCRETE EXAMPLE · ILLUSTRATIVE
Fictional plain roasted-groundnut packing run: two hundred 100 g pouches, twenty kilograms accepted nuts, from 24 kg documented raw kernels. Four kg sort/process loss is an invented ledger outcome. Supply shelled unsalted nuts with intact pouch seals; roasting must follow a qualified validated procedure, not colour alone. Peanut allergy, source contamination and post-roast handling remain central release decisions.
