The problem with loose and unbranded powders
Herbal powders are frequently adulterated with starch, colour or lower-grade plant parts. Without third-party oversight there is no way to know what you are consuming - or how it was dried, stored and packed.
What each certification means
- FSSAI License - the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India has inspected and licensed the manufacturing and packing facility (Vanamved: Lic. No. 11525999000515)
- ISO 9001:2015 - a documented, audited quality management system across sourcing, processing and dispatch
- GMP Certified - Good Manufacturing Practices covering hygiene, equipment, batch traceability and testing
- Make in India - sourced and processed in India, supporting local farmers
How to read a label like a pro
- Look for a printed FSSAI number and batch/packing date
- Ingredients should list one thing: the herb itself
- Nutritional information per 100 g indicates lab testing
- A clear "Packed & Marketed by" address shows accountability
- A QR code to origin story or wellness tips is a sign of a transparent brand
The Vanamved promise
Every Vanamved pack from Kashvi Trade Link carries its FSSAI license, ISO and GMP marks, batch details and a full nutritional panel - because trust should be printed on the box, not just promised.
