Credibility
Before taking a visual and physical
inspection of the Edible Bird’s Nest, you need to first make the credibility of
the company. Nevertheless sometimes you cannot make sure the credibility of the
company because a lot of producers are still producing in home industries. In
this case check the background of the owners. Make sure that you buy the
products from clear sources, that have business legality, and food safety
certificates from the government. This is crucial considering too many
unethical practices in the industry done by irresponsible and short minded
businessman. In general, Edible Bird’s Nest packaging must be packed in sterile
environment, and should have information of grading (size, quality), weight,
and the barcodes (with traceability).

Buying white nest, the consideration should go back to the credibility of the
company. Most Edible Bird’s Nest has natural colors of faded white.

might have changed, the nutrition is possibly damaged, and hygiene during the
