Business ProfileforMeridian Nut Growers

******* Enterprises LLC entered into contract #****** with Meridian Growers on 1/31/22. We purchased 2 container loads = 88,000 LBS of NPX 27/30 Almond Kernels. The first container of 44,000 LBS shipped from the Port of Oakland, CA on 4/30/22 and arrived at the destination Port of ***** in Dubai on 7/25/22. The consignee immediately unpacked the almonds and found that the almonds were severely compromised in quality and condition. We immediately informed the supplier (Meridian Growers) of the issue on 7/26/22, providing them pictures of the affected product. The consignee sorted the almonds by hand and determined that 300 cartons out of 880 cartons were in substandard condition and not the quality that we purchased. At the request of Meridian Growers, we filled out a customer complaint form and submitted the form to Meridian Growers on 7/25/22. Meridian Growers sourced the almonds for the aforementioned containers from Minturn Nut Company. Minturn Nut Company told Meridian Growers that nothing was wrong with the almonds and to close the file. At the direction of Minturn, Meridian closed our complaint file without any remedy or resolution.
