- Description:
PEANUT KERNELS - The size and color of peanut kernels vary according to the country of origin. The color varies from a pale buff to a deep red or reddish brown, but all kernels in good condition have a bright appearance.
Peanut kernels are subject to deterioration if shipped in wet condition or with high moisture content and, apart from mold or mildew, which may appear externally, the kernels are liable to heat internally.
Kernels which have been stored for any length of time before shipment are subject to infestation, evidenced by a thin layer of dust on the outside of the kernels. See also IMDG Code & US CFR.
