After cleaning is complete, next is packing. The packing of the products is either done by an automatic packing machine or manually depending on the characteristics. The packing material conforms to the statutory requirements for food products and is in accordance with the specifications of regulatory bodies such as the Indian Institute of Packaging, Mumbai, FSSAI & the Spices Board. After packing, each pack passes through a Metal Detector. A Metal Detector is used to maintain the quality and hygiene norms of the product even at the final stages of production. This phase of product processing and cleaning gives surety that the product does not contain any metal particle, which can be hazardous in nature.
