The Seafood Specialist with Common Sense
"You need a seafood specialist — not only a norms specialist."
The seafood world is controlled by strict international standards and applying correctly those standards is the basic to carry out correctly an inspection but that is not enough: common sense is at least as much important as standards.
Pre-Shipment Inspection
Buyers confirm orders directly — at least two inspectors of different nationalities attend every inspection. We provide a comprehensive quality report with pictures, systematic analysis, and actionable recommendations.
Net Weight Inspection
OFCO uses the water bath and paper towel method for net weight assessment, distinct from standard Codex methods. This approach ensures precise measurements aligned with buyer expectations and necessary adjustments.
Processing Inspection
Processing inspection service serves different purposes. It may be for specific aspects that require one-off monitoring or, on the contrary, to provide regular support to a company sending its raw materials to Vietnam for reprocessing.
Loading Supervision
Loading supervision complements our pre-shipment inspection service by safeguarding the loading process to ensure the goods shipped correspond exactly to those inspected.
Loading Inspection
Our loading inspection services offer peace of mind by verifying that the goods loaded align precisely with the inspected items.
Factory Audit
At OFCO, we proactively conduct regular factory audits, an essential practice to stay abreast of factory developments and the establishment of new facilities. These audits enable us to maintain the highest quality standards across all operations.
Sample Inspection
At OFCO, we adhere to customer standards by conducting sample inspections either at our office or directly at the supplier's factory.
Sample Preparation
At OFCO, we meticulously prepare samples for specific analyses, which are then sent to accredited laboratories. This ensures all findings meet the highest standards of accuracy and reliability.
Melanosis Test
At OFCO, we offer a specialized Melanosis Test for shrimps. After conducting a pre-shipment inspection, samples are brought to our office for a meticulous melanosis development test. This test spans over a period of 3 to 4 days, providing a comprehensive assessment of quality and shelf-life expectations.
Sensory Evaluation
At OFCO, we offer a comprehensive Sensory Evaluation service. Conducted at the processor's facility, this evaluation involves the QC manager and top management from the processors, ensuring the highest level of quality assessment.
