Quality Assurance
Quality Is Our Culture
For more than five decades, Kamran Flour Mills has built its reputation on a single promise: every bag is as pure and wholesome as the first.
We achieve this by weaving stringent food-safety protocols into every stage of production—backed by independent certifications, in-house laboratories, and continuous employee training.

Hygienic Packaging & Storage
Our nitrogen-flushed, tamper-evident packs and climate-controlled warehouses (<25 °C, RH < 60 %) ensure Kamran flour stays fresh, contaminant-free, and shelf-stable for up to six months.
Nitrogen-Flushed Consumer Packs
High-barrier, food-grade LDPE or laminated pouches are flushed with nitrogen to drive residual oxygen below 1 %, slowing lipid oxidation and preserving flavor, color, and vitamin stability for up to six months.
Inline oxygen sensors verify every 50th pack; any reading above 1 % triggers an automatic reject and process check.
Tamper-Evident Protection & Foreign-Matter Detection
Dual-layer seals feature perforated tear strips plus holographic lot codes, giving customers instant visual assurance the pack has not been opened.
Each filled bag passes through a combination metal detector and X-ray scanner calibrated to 1.5 mm ferrous / 2 mm non-ferrous sensitivity; non-conforming packs are diverted to a secure quarantine bin for root-cause analysis.
Climate-Controlled Warehousing
Finished goods are palletized on heat-treated wooden skids and stored in insulated zones held below 25 °C and <60 % relative humidity, conditions proven to prevent flour caking, weevil infestation, and mold growth.
Digital data loggers transmit temperature-and-humidity readings to the ERP every 15 minutes; automated alerts notify the quality team if any zone drifts outside spec, ensuring uninterrupted product integrity until dispatch.
Continuous Improvement & Training
Through weekly GMP workshops, real-time SPC monitoring, and 24-hour CAPA response cycles, we foster a culture of continuous improvement and hands-on training at every level.
Weekly GMP Workshops
Production staff attend hands-on Good Manufacturing Practice sessions every week to refresh hygiene skills and reinforce standard operating procedures.
Data-Driven SPC Monitoring
Real-time Statistical Process Control charts track critical variables, triggering proactive maintenance before small drifts become costly downtime.
Rapid CAPA Resolution
Cross-functional Corrective and Preventive Action teams convene within 24 hours of any deviation to identify root causes and implement lasting fixes.
Quality at a Glance
99.9 % Grain Purity
Triple cleaning and optical sorting remove virtually all stones, dust, and foreign matter, letting only pristine kernels proceed to milling.
30-Minute Lot Validation
Every batch completes a rapid food-safety and nutrition test cycle, guaranteeing that 100 % of lots meet ISO 22000 and HACCP standards before release.
Six-Month Shelf Life
Nitrogen-flushed, tamper-evident packaging keeps residual oxygen below 1 %, locking in freshness, flavor, and vitamins for up to six months.
Zero Recalls in Ten Years
Robust traceability, preventive controls, and swift CAPA protocols have sustained an unbroken decade-long record of zero product recalls.
Frequently asked questions
Quality Assurance
1. What certifications does Kamran Flour Mills hold for food safety?
We are fully certified under ISO 22000:2018 and HACCP, comply with PSQCA and Punjab Food Authority regulations, and maintain Halal assurance for all consumer SKUs.
2. How often is your flour tested for quality and safety?
Every production lot undergoes a 30-minute laboratory cycle that checks ash, moisture, gluten, color, and rapid microbiological markers before it can be released.
3. Can I trace a bag of flour back to its farm of origin?
Yes. Each pack carries a GS1-128 barcode or QR code that links to digital records showing the supplying farm, silo, milling batch, and lab-test results.
4. How do you prevent foreign objects in packaged flour?
Filled bags pass through metal detectors and X-ray scanners calibrated to detect particles as small as 1.5 mm, and any non-conforming pack is automatically rejected.
5. Why do you use nitrogen-flushed packaging?
Nitrogen reduces residual oxygen to below 1 %, slowing rancidity and keeping nutrients intact, which extends shelf life to up to six months without preservatives.
6. Have you ever had a product recall?
No. Robust preventive controls and a rapid CAPA system have helped us maintain zero recalls for more than a decade.
7. How quickly can you initiate a recall if an issue arises?
Our ERP-connected traceability system can identify and isolate any affected lot and notify distributors within 45 minutes.
8. Do you welcome customer or third-party audits?
Absolutely. We regularly host customer audits and engage accredited labs for independent testing to keep our processes transparent and trustworthy.
