As part of the importers FSVP, the hazard analysis would identify pathogens as a significant hazard. The company would need verification activities that would include a facility audit. Along with that, product testing and records verification should be considered. From the label, it looks as though the importer is buying from a few different countries, thus a few different suppliers.
In these situations, it may be better to import the raw nut and have them roasted by a domestic processor where you have better control of the roasting process.
