BUILT TO MEET INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS.
MAINTAINED THROUGH DISCIPLINE.
Quality at Lankan Canela is not an isolated function.
It is a controlled system that governs how we cultivate, process, verify, and export — batch after batch.
Globally Recognised. Quietly Maintained.
Our operations comply with internationally recognised food safety, quality, and export standards required by global buyers, regulatory authorities, and manufacturing partners.
Certifications at Lankan Canela are not displayed as achievements.
They function as operating requirements — verified, documented, and consistently upheld across cultivation, processing, storage, and export.
EXPORT COMPLIANCE & SHIPMENT VERIFICATION
We operate on a strict consignment-verification model. Every export shipment is individually inspected, tested, and documented to ensure it meets the specific compliance standards of the destination market.
- Third-Party Analysis (Intertek / SGS) — Independent quality, moisture, and microbiology testing available per batch.
- Phytosanitary Certification — Government-verified biosecurity clearance from the National Plant Quarantine Service (NPQS).
- Certificate of Origin — Chamber of Commerce verified source documentation.
- Fumigation Certification — Standard export compliance for pest control and container hygiene.
QUALITY VERIFIED AT THE SOURCE OF EXPORT
At Lankan Canela, we prioritize product integrity over static claims. Instead of relying solely on annual facility audits, we offer a shipment-verification protocol that guarantees the quality of the actual product you receive
TRANSPARENT DOCUMENTATION
We empower our buyers to request independent third-party inspections (Intertek or SGS) for any consignment. This ensures that every container leaving our care is independently verified for moisture content, foreign matter, and microbiological safety before it hits the water.
Complete export documentation—including Phytosanitary and Origin certificates—is prepared for every shipment to ensure seamless customs clearance at your port.
Quality Is Enforced Through Systems.
At Lankan Canela, quality is not inspected at the end of the process.
It is enforced at every stage — through controls, verification points, and documented accountability.
Our quality control framework is designed to ensure that every shipment reflects the same standards, regardless of volume or destination.
Framework Structure (Three Controlled Stages)
1. Raw Material Selection
Only cinnamon that meets defined grade parameters enters our processing stream.
- Controlled sourcing from verified cultivation zones
- Grade-specific intake standards
- Visual, physical, and sensory inspection at intake
- Immediate rejection protocols for non-conforming material
This ensures quality is protected before processing begins.
2. Processing & Handling Controls
Cinnamon is processed under supervised conditions designed to preserve integrity, cleanliness, and grade consistency.
- Hygienic processing environments
- Controlled drying and grading procedures
- Continuous supervision during cutting, grading, and sorting
- Batch-level segregation to prevent cross-contamination
Each step is governed by documented handling standards.
3. Storage & Preservation
Quality is maintained after processing through disciplined storage practices.
- Clean, climate-conscious storage facilities
- Segregation by grade, batch, and destination
- Protection against moisture, contamination, and degradation
- Regular internal inspections during storage cycles
This ensures product stability until export.
verified through independent testing
Quality controls within our operations are supported by laboratory testing to confirm compliance with buyer specifications and destination market regulations.
Testing is conducted to validate product safety, purity, and conformity — ensuring that every export shipment meets documented requirements before release.
TESTING COVERAGE
Laboratory verification may include, based on product scope and market requirements:
- Moisture content analysis
- Microbiological testing
- Foreign matter and purity assessment
- Residue compliance (where applicable)
- Buyer-specified test parameters upon request
Test reports are maintained as part of our export documentation process.
- Testing aligned with applicable international standards
- Use of recognised external laboratories where required
- Batch-linked reports for traceability
- Documentation available to buyers for review during compliance checks
Verification is treated as a confirmation step — not a substitute for internal controls.
Traceable by Design. Documented by Default.
Every export shipment from Lankan Canela is supported by structured traceability and documentation systems designed to meet buyer, regulatory, and audit requirements.
From intake through processing and export, product movement is recorded, verifiable, and accountable.
Traceability Framework
Our traceability approach enables clear linkage across each stage of the supply chain:
- Batch and lot identification at intake
- Segregation by grade and processing cycle
- Batch-linked storage and handling records
- Shipment-level traceability aligned with export documentation
This structure ensures that every consignment can be reviewed with clarity and confidence.
Documentation Readiness
Export documentation is prepared and maintained in accordance with destination market requirements and buyer specifications.
This may include:
- Commercial invoices and packing lists
- Phytosanitary and origin documentation
- Laboratory test reports (where applicable)
- Batch and lot references supporting traceability
- Buyer-specific compliance documentation upon request
Records are retained and organised to support audits, inspections, and internal reviews.
Confidence, Documented.
Quality, compliance, and traceability at Lankan Canela are not positioned as differentiators.
They are treated as operational requirements — verified, recorded, and sustained over time.
Our systems are designed to support buyers who require consistency, regulatory alignment, and accountability at scale.
Where expectations are clear, we engage with precision.
For buyers seeking a reliable Ceylon cinnamon partner aligned with international standards,
we welcome structured discussions based on specification, volume, and compliance requirements.
