Full transparency on every certification, every ingredient policy, and every quality standard we uphold — because trust is our most important ingredient.
PICKLLUM is registered and certified under the Food Safety & Standards Authority of India (FSSAI). This means our production kitchen, ingredients, and processes have been inspected and approved by India's apex food safety regulatory body. Our certification is renewed annually.
Our production kitchen operates under FSSAI Schedule 4 hygiene standards. Sterilised glass jars, food-grade tools, hair-covered staff, and regular sanitation protocols.
We pledge — on every jar — that no artificial colours, artificial flavours, synthetic preservatives, or chemical additives are used. Ever. Each batch is self-verified before shipping.
Natural preservation through oil, salt, and acid — the same methods used for centuries. No sodium benzoate. No potassium sorbate. Never.
Our turmeric is yellow because it's turmeric. Our chilli is red because it's chilli. Not because someone added a dye to it.
Every flavour in our jars comes from a real ingredient with a real source. Nothing synthetic, nothing "nature-identical".
Premium borosilicate glass jars. No plastic contact with food. BPA-free metal lids with tamper-evident seals.
Maximum 50 jars per batch. This is not a constraint — it's a commitment to ensuring each jar gets the care it deserves.
Every major ingredient can be traced to its source farm or forest. We know our farmers by name, and we like it that way.
We believe in radical transparency. Here's exactly what you will and will not find in any PICKLLUM product.
