Ventilation If the product is at "shipping dryness", i.e. if there is no risk of degradation by mold etc. due to water content, ventilation is not required. If this is not the case, the following ventilation measures should be implemented: air exchange rate: 6 changes/hour (airing).
Risk factors Currants are very frequently infested by pests. A fumigation certificate must be provided. Sensitive to wet damage.
