Onion Quality Inspection Standards from China
Onion quality is judged by firmness, dry skin, uniform size and freedom from sprouting, decay or damage. A clear inspection process gives importers a predictable product and fewer claims at destination.

What inspectors check
Huasheng checks each lot for dry, intact skin, firm texture, uniform grading and absence of sprouting, soft spots, mold or mechanical damage. Off-grade and damaged bulbs are removed before packing.

Curing and skin quality
Well-cured onions with dry, papery skins ship best and hold quality longer. Inspection verifies cure and skin integrity, which directly affects shelf life and appearance.
Sizing and firmness checks
Onions are graded by diameter - commonly 3-4 cm, 5-6 cm and 6-8 cm - and checked for firmness. Consistent sizing supports retail display and food-service planning.
Representative sampling gives a reliable picture of the whole lot.

Inspection before packing
A final inspection runs as onions move to the packing line, removing any bulbs that fail on skin, firmness or size. Clean, uniform product enters mesh bags or cartons.
